But I am certain that a Bench with treated wood would not have the same characteristics from a cuttinf board. So maybe the idea could not be applied to a bench
I learned that wood boards are better than plastic, because plastic gets tiny grooves from cutting where bacteria can grow inside. With wood, those tiny grooves naturally close since wood “swells” when it gets wet.
Considering exhaled smoke is just breath with also burnt plant material and byproduct, that’s not too surprising. It’s more like ‘cigarette and marijuana smoke makes visible the cone of particulates of general exhalation through which contagious respiratory illness is largely spread.’
You could potentially get herpes from it, but idk how long the virus lives on porous material like wood exposed to the elements. Covid for instance lasts 4 days on wood, but only 1 on cardboard. It lives much longer on, say, plastic, than on clothing.
I’d be much more worried about toxic chemicals because outdoor furniture almost certainly uses treated wood. And if it’s pre-i-think-80s treated wood it’s even worse.
Eeeeeew. How much hiv or herpes or whatever do you want to spread
Doesn’t wood kill bacteria? I’m pretty sure that’s why you’re supposed to use a wood cutting board for meat
HIV, AIDS, Herpes =/= bacteria…
Just in case you’re serious or if someone else didn’t know. Wood does not kill bacteria.
Wood is used in cutting boards because it was an available material that was shapeable, cleanable, and didn’t destroy the knife edge.
I swear I learned that in home economics almost 15 years ago

I also remember in my school smth about it.

The wood also absorbs the bacteria, bacteria can’t survive in wood Source
Didn’t even bother looking it up, huh?
Yes.
The smoke cleanses it all
Covid may possibly be spreading via cigarette and marijuana smoke, so that’s neat.

I sincerely doubt you could catch herpes or especially HIV from putting your mouth on this or smoking from it.
that is not how HIV/AIDS is spread.
