Ban vaping and smoking in out door queues

Just see how vapping smoke covers others behind and around smokers shows potential of covid spreading particularly as they promote deep exhaling and coughing

Why the contribution is important

Queuing outside is likely to be required for long term as part of social distancing

    Yes, and smoking in any outdoor public area.

    No scientific evidence whatsoever showing that smokers or people vaping are spreading the virus any more than someone breathing normally...if you feel you are being covered by someone’s exhaling you should increase your social distance.

    I am really concerned by this as anyone vaping produces large clouds of droplets, which in effect is moisture. The evidence is that Covid-19 is spread by droplets. I have been walking at some distance behind a person vaping, you can smell the liquid as it is expelled from way more than two metres. If you can smell it, you may have breathed it in. I would be very wary of having to stand in a queue to go shopping, and waiting for one or two hours behind someone who is vaping as I have asthma. I would also be concerned at children and elderly or ill people breathing in vape smoke. There are usually huge clouds of smoke being exhaled by vaping.
