Now imagine they have COVID-19 and it's all in that vape exhaust. Take a deep breath. Would you rather have a mask on or a mask off? We're talking common sense here. Of course, masks work, maybe not perfectly, but better than nothing. This mask debate is Darwinism, don't be on the wrong side of natural selection.

That's not the best analogy. Unless you're wearing some real mask like for spray painting or something, you're gonna still smell and taste that vape even when wearing a mask man, maybe marginally less. If you can smell it, you are inhaling it anyways.
Let me give you an opposing analogy and an explanation. Lets say we're in a room together, and I fart. My fart stinks initially, but after a while you stop smelling it. You would still of course smell it with a mask on initially as well, but that's not my point. My point is - you stopped smelling my fart, but did my fart go away? It did not. What happened? Diffusion. My fart mixed into more air that was in the room, and diffused to a point where the smell of it was no longer detectable - but the fart is still there. Now another scenario - I fart, you smell it, you crack open a window. You can no longer smell it. Did my fart vanish? Alas, It did not. Thanks to diffusion, all of outdoors now has my fart in it, and everyone will breath it in regardless of their mask.
None the less, the numbers and statistics do not lie - the masks are effectively useless. Social distancing, hand washing, staying away from crowds, staying home if you are sick or coughing - absolutely - but wearing a mask, especially outdoors, is absolutely useless.
