Warning: Vaping can Increase your chance of Death via Covid-19. See Covid-19 and Vaping Page.
Mouth to mouth dissemination can be briefly described as spreading germs via saliva and mouth to mouth contact. This includes kissing, sharing food and drinks, and sharing vape pens.
Mouth to mouth dissemination is very risky because it can lead to many very serious diseases called STDs.
In addition STDs, mouth to mouth dissemination helps spread pathogens and viruses like the Coronavirus.
Due to the risk of mouth to mouth dissemination, be careful to refrain from sharing food, drinks, or vape pens with others as much as possible.
Be sure to stay at least 6 feet away from others
Refrain from gathering in large groups
When in doubt, wear a mask and gloves to better protect yourself from contracting Covid-19 from others
Covid-19 spreads when people sneeze or cough and pathogens from their water droplets land in another person's mouth or nose.
It is important to practice social distancing to protect you from contracting the virus from others as water droplets can travel up to 6 feet when someone sneezes or coughs.
According to Tobacco Free CA, your risk of developing respiratory related viruses, such as Covid-19, doubles when you vape or smoke
For example, a study completed by Cohen S, Tyrrell DA, Russell MA, Jarvis MJ, and Smith AP shows that when they gave 1 out of 5 people in a 391 person study a drop of a repiratory related virus, they discovered that those who smoked and vaped were twice as likely to get infected by the virus
Smoking and Vaping create smoke and aerosol that attacks the lungs at the cellular level, making it more difficult for the body to fight respiratory infections, like the ones created by Covid-19
