A member asked:
Why is no one mentioning vaping vapors for spreading coronavirus infection from longer distances? can someone vaping spread coronavirus into the air?

There is risk.: Any kind of activity which may spread the virus entails risk to others, although there is controversy between droplet and contact spread. Regardless, vaping may damage your lungs, either through the chemicals that you inhale from the liquor ( tobacco or cannabis) or because it is a heated vapor. Protect your lungs always.

COVID 19: I was amazed to learn that SARS-Cov-2 could be transmitted through second hand cigarette smoke. I don't know if that applies to vaping. However, according to MASS General, vapid can increase COVID 19 transmission. People may mistake COVID cough for Vaping cough. Vaping involves hand to mouth contact.
