Can face mask block you from inhaling and smelling paint fumes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Face masks do not prevent fumes from paint and related sources, but N95 masks do prevent droplets in interactions with individuals who may have active viruses (influenza and COVID-19 in particular).

No. None of the face masks would filter out paint fumes. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
