Scientists claim - though it hasn't really been studied properly - that the virus will not spread in vape clouds, unless the user happens to cough at the same time as they exhale.

I read recently that while a high proportion of French people smoke, only a small number ended up in hospital with Coronavirus. There was some thought that the nicotine provided some sort of protection, but of course, smoking carried its own risks.

Theres no nicotine in vape is there?

I've already broached this elsewhere. Obviously, the smokers defended it vigorously (no surprise there), and saying its safe (of course, Doctor). As surely this has been down the vapers lungs, done a circuit or two, then blown out into the air, i cant see how it can be 100% 'safe' for folk who get a lungful, second hand.

I get the impression... but stand to be corrected... that these ridiculous and offensive massive plumes are taken (only) into the mouth, then blown straight out again?
I "take mine down properly", (I'm still addicted to nicotine when all said and done... I use 18mg nicotine strength) and get very... VERY... little vapour cloud when exhaling.
I appreciate though, that these things are affected by the viscosity of the liquid, and indeed the voltage/battery strength used.

Next time you see one of these massive plumes, watch them "take their next drag"... it appears to escape (the mouth) almost immediately, and doesn't seem to go deep enough, or stay in long enough, to be savoured!

Like I say... I could be wrong!

I think that is right. I have previously seen the chap who passed me in his car walking along the road vaping and it gives a new meaning to 'having one's head in the clouds'

One thing that concerned me though is if a cloud of vapour can hang around in the air long enough for someone else to walk into several seconds later, could a cough or sneeze containing the virus hang around just as long and the two metre distance just isn't far enough?

The issue with vape machines is how few users know they are (mostly) adjustable to limit the amount of vapour to suit the individual user's needs. Those who take the vapour right down can adjust to get a larger amount of vapour per puff, while those who only take a mouthful can get less. Of course the people supplying the machines have little interest in telling people this because a machine set to maximum (as they seem to be from the factory) uses more vape fluid so more profits for manufacturer and retailer. Of course the cheapest machines may not be adjustable but most are.

So as Mucker seems to be a part of SAGE. Can I ask, if someone walking in front of me breaks wind, and it's a wet one, and I smell it, can covid 19 live in the aroma?
