The lime is dry out of the tub and moisture in the breath is required for the reaction to remove the CO2. I can't see how it's inactivated by drying out...
Eeek! With friends like this who needs enemies? It is kind of scary that you are handing out advice like this. Sofnolime is up to 20% water (usually 17%) which is used in the chemical reaction to scrub CO2, it does not rely on water vapour in your breath. Check the Link. Read the FAQs "what is sofnolime?" and "what can make the absorber fail prematurely?"
