the not so burning question: are surgical masks effay?

only in asia m8, even then I think for the most part people wear them on off days like when they have acne / no makeup / plastic surgery wounds

Yes, surgical masks can help protect against illnesses. If it were socially acceptable where I lived, I'd wear one every day xD

It's what ugly girls junior high school girls wear to hide their ugliness

Get your bangs extra long so you can hide your eyes too. It completes the look

No they don't.

Japs are fucking voodoo tier with their beliefs about health. Masks don't work and rain doesn't make you sick.

yes they are and I they can also protect from the cold, my chin area is always cold (I know I can get a scarf but eh), wish it didn't look like I had a disease and that ppl should stay at a 20 m radius away from me.

I really like them.

I've heard they work against hay fever too.
Pollen fucks me up hard during spring.

Masks should be socially acceptable, so that wearing a mask does not mean I have ebola or something.

I wore mine in school several years ago freshman year. There were forest fires near me and the ash bothered my asthma.

I got a lot of questions and looks those few days.

I guess they're effay in the way so many Asian things seem to be, and they absolutely serve a purpose over there, apparently they're quite common in the winter.

I wouldn't wear one in the west, though. it just doesn't look right.

Only in asia, everywhere else they arent socially accepted.........yet
