LOL...not PC, but correct. My mom (a smoker herself, btw) has a bad reaction (they're not sure if it's an allergy, yet) to perfumes of all kinds. The stuff in soaps, candles, regular perfume...you name it. She doesn't expect everyone to accomodate her, by any means. Might help that she's a smoker, though! :)

I wonder when she's gonna give it up and come over to the dark side. She's more than halfway there, but she doesn't realize it, lol!!

I have no problem with making accomodations for people that have specific health problems..........but there has to be a limit.

I have a huge problem with raw shrimp....my eyes swell shut, and then the swelling keeps moving. Based upon the idea of the smoking bans and "scent" bans, I should have the right to demand a raw shrimp ban.......including in the local seafood market or restaurant.

Of course, most who are pushing the smoking bans think I am am idiot for proposing any such thing. Yet they fail to acknowlege more people die every year from reactions to food than ever do from exposure to the smoke of a cigarette smoker.



As to my shrimp problem, I just avoid spending any time around it. We love to eat shrimp in this house and get wonderful fresh shrimp.......hubby deals with it and I stay in another room. Once it's cooked, I'm fine.

gee, I've got a physical problem to something and know how to avoid exposure.......seems to be such a foreign concept to the antis.
