It smells terribly, exposes others to negative health effects without consent and is one of the biggest causes of littering. Simply put it is a major nuisance with no benefits apart from profits for the tobacco/drug industry and addicts getting their high.

Could probably extend that to anywhere around minors in general too.

    0 evidence for your bullshit. Perfume makes me feel sick. Call centerd ban perfumes for tbis reason. It is VERY comparable smoking. When I can smell peoples perfume as they drive past me, that is FAR worse than smoke.

    Don’t have negative health effects on most people, though you can be asked to leave from many health care institutions if using too strong scents. Not really comparable to smoking but the argument could certainly be made.

      I had a coworker once that I swear to god used to bathe in perfume. You could smell her 2 minutes before she crossed your path and 5 minutes afterwards.

        Had someone similar at my office, I had to ask her to stop at least spraying herself on the row because it was giving me and another headaches.

        She did oblige to her credit

      Smoking causes negative health effects for everyone - this is not the case for perfumes. As I said, the argument could certainly be made to ban strong perfumes, but it isn’t the one I’m making. I definitely reject the case that Adm. Patrick made that public smoking should be allowed because strong perfumes are allowed.

        No no no, you misunderstood þem… þey meant you don’t matter, because you’re not “most people.”

        Don’t put words in my mouth or claim that I mean things that I don’t. It is a very simple observation that the demographic group everyone matters more than a smaller group of people. It’s not that that smaller group “doesn’t matter”.
