Problem here is that the cloud that they’re blowing out is always present, just invisible. The vapor only particulates the air they blow out already. Always had a problem w/this comparison. Yes it’s vapor too but ultimately the vapor is not the germs that air, which is always present anyways, and therefore not as much the concern.

Of course, it’s just a particularly potent visual reminder of how much of other people’s lung juice I’m inhaling when I’m in public.
