So what is the end game?

Government regulation against every odor that might offend, annoy or harm someone?

No end in sight is there.

None of us called for regulation. We just want people to acknowledge it’s actually an issue that is making us ill.

It’s not a matter of offense. It’s a matter of making people physically sick.

If I put some substance in someone’s food, if I hit them, if I poured some chemical in an office that made the whole office sick, would I not be charged with assault?

Then why is it OK when it’s only one or two people because it’s perfume and it’s supposed to smell nice. Deliberately doing something that you know is going to harm them is assault, no matter what the weapon.

As far as politely asking them to stop, that’s useless as evidenced by some of the responses on this thread. We’re just as likely to get a *If you don’t like it, stay home* from them as not.

BTW, can you explain why those who wear the perfume have the right to live as they please and not have anyone tell them what to do but feel free to tell everyone else how to live and what they should do (stay home)? Why to the ones harming others have all the rights and those being harmed just have to suck it up?
