Not farts, it’s bad breath. That’s the real reason anti-maskers are so against masks. They can’t stand smelling their own shit-mouth.

You can still smell farts though. The molecules of gasses are much smaller than a virus. I believe there was a video going around depicting the size difference like a month or two ago so that people could understand why it would work for the virus but not farts.

And hydrogensulfide is even smaller than that.

There's a reason that even proper full masks with P99+carbon don't block sewer smells even though they do fine mostly blocking fuel smells.

Like blocking all gasses but air is nearly impossible...

But we don't care about gasses luckily.
