Nicotine and amphetamines had the same effect based on studies done during the pandemic, accounting for smoking's oddly protective effect that was observed initially, counterintuitively.

As someone with ADHD that dips and drinks coffee, none of that stopped me from getting covid repeatedly while working in a hospital.

Still getting COVID is consistent with the results of this study. Coffee helps, but only by 10%.

Based on the previous report analysis [26], drinking one or more cups of coffee per day was related to approximately 10% lower risk of COVID-19 compared to no coffee in the UK Biobank (UKB)
