"...Under the same premise that smoking bothers the breathing of others around them, they will also go after the women (or men) who wear too much cologne."

Man, I'm really torn on that one. There's a lady who works in our office that I would like to have banned when she marinates herself in some kind of stinky perfume! It has literally caused my eyse to water and gave me trouble breathing ( and I generally like nice perfumes,etc.).

The real kicker is that she is a smoker, too, and I think her own sense of smell has been dulled so much by smoking that she doesn't realize that the rest of us are being knocked over by her perfume. It has been mentioned to her on several occasions, but it hasn't helped.

I agree with a previous poster, however, that if we all just excercised better manners we wouldn't need new laws. As much as I hate choking on that sickly-sweet perfume cloud, I would not support a law against the wearing of such.

Holding my nose for freedom...

It will be coming. I haven't seen much about it lately, but a year or so ago Halifax did ban the wearing of perfume, much like smoking is being banned elsewhere.
