Earlier instance of this BUR with some commentary: topic #25968
Keep in mind that, as per the previous thread, the reason nothing was done yet was to keep posts like post #6561659 searchable. Those kinds of images are definitely not "breath". Suggestions were given for an alternate tag to describe those, but none of them sounded great. I think the current tag name is accurate and descriptive for that purpose, and that rather than coming up with a new tag and aliasing or deprecating this one, this one should simply be dedicated to that purpose. Rewrite the wiki to indicate that it should *not* be used for simple breath clouds, and clear out the tag where it's being used that way.

Would that not be smoke_from_mouth? It's not steam and it isn't breath.
I wasn't aware of that tag, it does sound like a better tag for that. Moving the relevant steam_from_mouth images to smoke_from_mouth and deprecating the former sounds reasonable to me.
I agree that whether the emerging vapors are steam or smoke or something else is hard to tell and doesn't matter much, so it's best to make it all a single tag. But smoke_from_mouth is currently being used for mouths that are emitting smoke because the person is smoking (e.g. post #8251916, post #7389126). We'd end up with another case of multiple use cases for the same tag. Unless we decide that the smoking kind of mouth smoke should just be tagged smoking. I'm open to that, although I suspect that there would be some mistagging due to literal interpretation of the tag name.
