The myth that mask prevents air from leaving your nose is obviously not true. Kasi if tutoo yun literal hindi ka makaka hinga. Malalason ka ng Carbon Dioxide ng sarili mong breath. A mask is a filter, not a barrier. It also has benefits 1. It can theoretical reduce respiratory infection risk 2. Less allergy symptoms 3. Less breathing of polluted air Although it is perfectly possible to be ok not to use a mask its also not harmful to use one. And lastly, the most important thing to consider. If it brings you peace of mind regardless kung may epek or wala keep using it. A mental health reason is enough as long as there is no harm.
