[Your nose and mouth are connected in the back](https://cdn.britannica.com/78/74278-050-E4345BA2/Tissues-airway-soft-palate-sleep-apnea.jpg). When you sneeze, your lungs expel the air outward, the air will go out of wherever it can. You should have some control over keeping it from leaving your mouth, which helps expel the irritant.
