This morning I walked outside and immediately saw my breath fog up in the crisp air. My neighbor's kid asked if we were "breathing smoke," which reminded me how many people think the white cloud is steam or water vapor we're exhaling.

That's the misconception.

We always exhale water vapor—summer, winter, doesn't matter. The difference is visibility, not vapor.
