PeterB,
I wouldn't say they're comparable. The risks posed to other people by smokers to themselves and other people aren't remotely on the same level as the risk posed to other people by someone who is infected with Covid-19. People can be in the same room as one or more smokers for quite a while and the likelihood they're going to catch a potentially deadly illness from him/her/them because of the smoking is teensy. Can't say that about someone with Covid-19. The risk is far greater even with reasonable safety precautions.
