Smoking for many years can cause Empysema, but this would not be causing everyone to wear a mask. It sounds like something along the lines of Tuberculosis or Asbestosis.

they are getting you to wear a mask to reduce any contaminents in the air from your breathing. When you exhale the air may contain bacteria from your lungs or mouth and little drops of saliva.

isn't that referred to as Botox? and that they are going to placed on their "i can't circulate my face" mask consistently, regrettably. ok, no yet truly. they are able to placed on it until they are conscious of it thoroughly replaced them and their existence for the worst. Or...the guy in simple terms loses it and is bored stiff in pretending. with a bit of luck no longer long.

the mask is not for your protection as much as it is for his.... if he has been taking chemo or any treatment that may affect his immune system he is highly susceptible to infections and with a weak immune system it could endanger his life...
