Question what effect is vaping having on the spread? Walking in a city in the UK I see people leave large plumes of vaper which seems to me be an excellent transport system.

Warm and wet.

There have been some theories (that has not been tested at all) that hot and humid climates might be less susceptible to the virus due to the virus not surviving in the air as long. Not sure if this can be applied to small vapor clouds though.

Score one for the cigar / tobacco smoker

As it would seem to affect smokers harder, I'd call that a draw.

Cigar smokers FTW...they dont inhale ;)

In that case, it seems like an even weirder affect to take on - none of the nicotine, all of the bad breath and mouth cancer.

You absorb nicotine in the mouth. You dont get tar in your lungs.

No smoking is good for you but then again the leading cause of death is birth so enjoy the time you have. If cigars are your thing smoke it up

In that case I guess you probably shouldn't be trying to keep score in regards to your vice.

Nicotine can be absorbed through the nose and mouth. It's not as effective as through the lungs, but cigars have much higher dosage than cigarettes.
