What are the odds of encountering the same air molecule twice in your life?

Pretty good. When i was young I used to blow weed smoke and then reinhale it

The odds would be in the hundreds of quadrillion. About 1 in 500,000,000,000,000,000.

Radiotagging Air: Tracking Molecules with UV-Emitting Nuclear Particles
To explore the possibility of recognizing specific air molecules, the proposed approach involves tagging these molecules with identifiable markers, such as radioactive isotopes or fluorescent dyes. By attaching radiological particles to the molecules, they can be tracked through the radiation they emit, particularly in controlled environments where interference from other sources is minimized. While this method faces significant challenges, including the vast number of air molecules, it could be theoretically feasible to detect and recognize tagged molecules using advanced detection techniques such as mass spectrometry.
