Logical thinking denies any use of Muhapati. First of all you cannot kill insects by inhaling by your mouth, because you don't inhale my mouth. If you wanna avoid killing of insects wear it on your nose. Some also says by wearing it your warm exhale air might not kill mirobes around you. so it is a practice of ahimsa. Logical thinking says that it is just a way of differentiating Swetamabar sadhus from Digamabar sadhus. Because Swetamabar was not existed at the time of Mahavira. It was Sthulabhadra who allowed white clothing during famine in India. Also, Jain sadhus boil their drinking water and then drink it. The reason behind this as we all know so that they don't get any disease from microbes might present in it. It was Mahavira who practiced this first. It was his keen observation. He believed in observing the things around you, studying them carefully and then decide about it. He dint care of microbes in the water. So, killing of microbes by boiling water and protecting them by wearing Muhapatti are totally contrast to each other. You can wear Muhapatti on you nose and mouth so you would protect yourself from pollution loaded environment. [edit]
