Isn’t it easier to look at somebody vaping or smoking, ie. if you can smell cigarette smoke, it was likely exhaled/may contain droplets with virus?

- londons_explore 6y agoAnd If someone is smoking a hundred yards away you can totally smell it. Therefore I suspect that this article is true in that there is significant dilution, but its conclusion that the dilution means you needn't be worried about COVID depends on the exact disease charactistics.

- magicroot75 6y agoNo. Because the mass of particles in vape smoke to cause smell is not the same as the transmission density of viral particles needed to cause viral transmission. I believe it takes inhalation of at least 1000 particles of covid for there to be a reasonable chance of transmission. This is not necessarily anything similar to "smell" density of smoke. Whereas Co2 density measures the density of air particles in the ambient air.
