ROFLOL! You are right about many non-smokers and also ex-smokers. My mother is an ex, and she drives me up the wall. When I was a kid, I remember all the spiffed and perfumed congregants lighting up in the narthex after church. No one cared. There are so many important issues to be concerned about. But they get lost in red herrings like the anti-smoking-anti-perfume-anti-everything groups running around. Judas priest.....

I would LIKE to say that I cannot believe someone would do that smelly a thing on a plane - but, we have entered the era of air mass transit, so I guess anything goes! Can't people like this be shot down by the air marshals?

It's the acetone smell that is bothering you - I suspect one could ignite several bottles of nail polish remover and make quite an impact on a flight, so let's hope we don't attract a lot of female terrorists with nice nails!

re: workers--but try going to the public library.......)))

Funny you should mention that--the only place where I could not endure the odor was our neighborhood bookmobile.
