I think the issue is the false sense of security it gives, and people thinking it's ok to invade your personal space because 'masks'. As for wearing them outside in the open air if not in crowded areas (eg a concert, football match, etc) - just fucking LOL. They have their benefits in certain situations for absolute sure, but have become a talisman and likely do more harm (with people thinking it's some kind of 100% protection, and ignoring more substantive measures) as is.
Any smoker here has done the let out a puff of smoke just normally, with mask in place... not only does it come out the sides, therefore not directed downwards where your nostrils naturally aim (evolutionary feature?), there's hardly any difference whatsover in the smoke expelled. Now do that for something thousands and thousands of times smaller than smoke particles.
I'm not anti-mask per se, just rebuff the idea they are the magic bullet force field most think they are, whereby they still crowd into other people's personal space, whereas probably a better tactic would be to stay the fuck out of people's personal space in the first instance.
