Photo / Stephen ParkerA new analysis has suggested normal vaping only slightly raises the risk of a person infected with Covid-19 passing on the virus through the air. But there has been comparatively little research into the danger of vaping spreading the virus through droplets carried by exhaled e-cigarette aerosols. By contrast, "high intensity" vaping could carry hundreds, and up to 1000, droplets per puff, over more than 2m. The relative risk rose to five to 17 per cent with "high intensity" vaping.
