Can perfumes considered as air pollutants and their use prohibitted in public places ?
Ravan2nd asked:
People will not tolerate someone enters into lift with cigarette in hand. But people having more intense smell of perfumes on their dress fill the lift with pollution and never bother about that.

Neither we have standards for cosmetics or ethics and logic for the rules. A masala company will pollute the entire area with mirchi powder. Hotels have no exhaust systems. People burn anything on the roadside in the name of garbage.
Like goats, everybody is behind cigarette. All other pollutants are forgiven
In our work place, perfumes and colognes can be prohibited if the scent is overpowering, offensive smelling, or if someone is allergic to the scent.
If people are clean and apply perfumes at home, but to carry them around is a bit much for me. I like the message your sending here.
i smoke
and i always spray some body spray
after i smoke to kill the smell,
but i always ust just enough
BEFORE i enter the place im visiting,
this way i have time to air off
and rid myself of cigarettes smell.
i think that if people had the
decency to respect other people’s
opinions towards they way they smell
[for health or prefrences]
thwn the world would be nice smelling
place.
Some people are effected by the smell of perfume. These people have either an allergic reaction to it or they can have serious astma attack. Some perfumes are apparently worse than others. Then again other people don’t seem to be effected by perfume at all.
So, to answer your question;
for some people perfumes are a definite air pollution. But then for a lot of other people, it’s not or it’s indifferent.
Some old ladies will make your eyes water!
It’s wrong to wear them to work or in small spaces. Most people overdo it. And I hate cigarettes, too.
You are correct.
My husband became very ill several years ago and, although he has never officially been diagnosed, the doctors all agree that he has something that has compromised his immune system. As a result, he is very sensitive to odors. The doctors also warned that odors can be absorbed through the skin, and he is to avoid the following: gas fumes (can’t pump gas), all tobacco smoke and fumes, perfumes and colognes and aftershaves, scented shampoos and conditioners and hairsprays, scented laundry products, all household cleaning products …. there are more, but that is just an example.
I would think that if an ill person must avoid these types of odors, it must be because they are a pollutant, and yes excessive use should be prohibited or banned.
Of course, getting the majority of people to agree would be impossible, and the various industries who promote these products would be in an uproar.
I read several years ago about a city in Canada (was it Quebec?) that banned the wearing of perfumes and scented cosmetics. I think it is a good idea. I know people who have serious allergic reactions and others who have respiratory conditions whose wellbeing is threatened by being around scented products. I stopped wearing cologne and scented lotions years ago for this reason. I would feel terrible if someone had a life-threatening reaction because of me.
