Why do we have to keep fighting for our individual rights? As the legal adage says, "Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins"

Likewise your right to stink up the place with your odor,i(Personal or artificial) ends where my health and well being begin.

Anyone that is so selfish or oblivious to the discomfort that their odor is causing another deserves to be sued. When the scent is causing migraines and cluster headaches and the victim needs to take medication just to complete a day of work there is a problem.

Sorry, I am not going to agree with you on this issue.

I don't like the way some people look, or dress or what they say when they talk.
I live with it.

I actually feel sick to my stomach when I smell the breath of someone who smokes cigarettes and drinks coffee.

Do you think they will stop doing these things when I tell them how sick it makes me feel.
Of course not. I would be lucky not to get punched in the nose.

There will be no way you can stop everyone around you from wearing artificial scents. Even some shampoos put off a very loud odor. Are you going to tell them to stop washing their hair.

Sorry, this is a personal rights issue. You have the right to move away from these people that offend you and they have a right to smell the way they want.
