I take a lot of hot showers, and sometimes I find myself wondering why I am able to breathe in the steam around me and not worry about any water-in-lungs related health concerns. How is breathing in steam different than breathing in small amounts of water droplets?

I remember in “the perfect storm” commentary – one of the actors said he was told that during the storm there was enough water “mist” in the air that you could drown…
Breathing the very wet air.
This in physics often seem to be certain: water or air, or land
But often it turns out to be just useful constructs that we have to help us navigate.
For example:
Binocular vision is a joke (for example and breaks in many ways: blind spots in each eye, speculating reflections break all the time and your mind just ignores it…
Or objects being “solid” (there’s way more space in a substance than there is matter)
Etc
