I advise my daughters to put a drop of that behind each ear to attract the “right” men.

I don’t wear cologne, but, any am occaisionally annoyed by someone elses, but anyone so weak that they become ill from breathing a non-toxic perfume or cologne, should not be going out in the world. Instead they should be at home in a clean room, with a state of the art air purification system, and perhaps, padded walls.

Nope, didn’t see this one coming.

I find it very sad that we have clearly transitioned from a self sufficient poeple to a people dependent on the government. It used to be that if someone knew of a risk to their breathing, or a risk to run into an offensive odor, they figured out how to avoid it in their everyday lives. It is amazing that they did this ON THEIR OWN.

I’ve never understood why some people wear scents that are so repulsive. I can’t imagine that they actually enjoy it. Ironically, the worse the scent the greater the amount they pour on.

They couldn’t find a human to demonstrate that product?

Mix layers of Patchouli with several weeks of hippie BO and you have a weapon of mass destruction.

Hey that the idea, lock those weaklings up and then rip up those wheel chair ramps and tear down all those handicapped parking signs, more parking for everyone else! You or yours aren’t ever going to need any of that stuff anyway.

Thats light machine oil...the kind youd use on a sewing machine. Hardly a manly scent. 
Well, how about the manly scents of 1.) Tranny fluid; and 2.) a hockey rink!

I wonder if they had to send to Calgary for a back up Zamboni?

Anyone who thinks this is ok is not a conservative. The government has no business banning scents such as cologne and perfume. If the workers in a business are so upset by them they should see the owner of the business and get him to ban them. The government, city, state or feds, have no constitutional authority to ban them, anymore than they have the right to ban smoking.

There is a big difference. While the scent-nazis might be able to ban cologne in the offices of people with “sensitive respiratory systems”, it is impossible to make the whole world “safe” for them.
Also, people confined to wheelchairs actually have a real physical disability. They are not in those wheelchairs because they are too persnickity to walk.
Perhaps ther are a tiny number of people out there who are physically sickened by perfume, but 99.9% are just whiners who don’t like the unpleasant scents, or have a psychological disorder and are at no medical risk.
I feel bad for the 0.1%, but a much higher percentage of the population have allergies to various things, and we can’t purify the world’s air supply of all those allergans to accommodate them.

You probably have the idea that I want the government to step in and ban perfume, nothing could be farther from the truth. I just want this discussed so those who wear these strong scents will realize that they are difficult for some of us to live around. It is more than just a dislike, the scents cause a physical reaction that we are unable to control and all we can do is move away. I am not shy about telling people that they have overdone the perfume and they should think about going to wash it off. It is either that or I change seats. If I have bought a paid for a seat I don't think I should have to give it up because someone beside me smells so strong that I cannot breathe.

Fair enough. Voluntary courtesy, or even employer mandated courtesy on a case by case basis is fine with me. I just don’t want the goverment banning perfume, then deodorant, then soap, and so on.
