The following situation is what really had me thinking and then I remembered other similar situations and of course COVID. This is what really made me think:
A friend of mine vaped at one time and had to stop in a shop to resupply. I went in the shop which was about 600 square feet out in the retail area. The guy behind the counter was on his vape, there was a customer using his vape and a 2nd customer on his vape. I watched in disgust as all 3 used their vapes like they could not breathe without it. The entire store was a massive, thick cloud of vape smoke. It was super thick and I realized I was breathing in what all 3 had been exhaling. It was pathetic. This was probably a retail M use and occupancy which stayed an M use and occupancy (probably got away with B due to the small size) BUT the type of use is the real issue here. It was more than obvious that there was little to no fresh air exchange and I've seen this in multiple other scenarios, including small pizza shops.
Thoughts?
