especially when on the subway (the air is shitty, so it makes sense).

Man, having had easy access to some sort of mask for a long time now, I keep finding little situations where historically I'd be like "man, I wish I didn't have to breath this shit, it can't be good for me" where I just don't breath those things anymore...

I'm trying to think of good examples but the only one that comes to mind is that in the rare instance I need to use bug spray I'm always glad I have a mask I can wear in case it floats my way.

funny you say this… I often think, “have I been breathing this shit this whole time?” when I pull off a mask I’ve been wearing in the subway to wash it, and all this grime washes out

Public spaces often smell reaaal bad when you do have to take your mask off.
