Can the exhalation cloud from an coronavirus-infected person that is vaping infect multiple people over a large area? that vape cloud travels far, and the scent even farther.

Yes: Please quit vaping and avoid vaping smoke. Aerosol generating exhalation may spread the viral infection that causes COVID 19.

COVID 19: Second hand smoke can transmit the virus. However, I don't believe that the link has yet been established that vape clouds transmits COVID 19. It can if the vaping person coughs. There can also be hand to mouth contamination with the vaping utensil. REF: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8143385/Coronavirus-NOT-spread-vape-clouds-unless-e-cigarette-user-coughs.html
