I understand the importance of fragrances to some people. Believe it 0or not it can be life threatening. I don't however think we need laws prohibiting it but just an awareness some people may need accommodations in the event of an allergy. I think we provide way too many laws that penalize us. it will be be our downfall.
New Hampshire considers perfume ban for state employees - Daily Dose: A Boston Globe blog with health news, advice, and information. (http://www.boston.com/Boston/dailydose/2012/02/new-hampshire-considers-perfume-ban-for-state-employees/JEftAGZy1Cdme70WYsI1QI/index.html - broken link)
Pretty much every private office has a scent policy. The modern workplace isn't supposed to be filled with perfumes and colognes. Why should the government not act like a private business?
Yep, we all know the anti-smoking legislation wasn't about health, its because non-smokers don't like the smell. Now they are going to go after other products they don't want to smell.
There was a thread on this a few weeks ago, when this article was first published.

If only people would be considerate.
But they're not.
Many people (many who post on CD) would intentionally cause others harm.
It was done to me and I ended up hospitalized.

What? Someone walked by you wearing perfume and you had to be hospitalized?
If this passes, I'm sure other states will enact similar legislation. Then a state will expand it to ban anyone from wearing perfume and cologne in public buildings, then it will be expanded to private workplaces as well.
I bet peanuts will be the next target.
What about people with body odor?
I guess people from India will have to stop eating Curry?

Come on now...if you are one who has a deadly allergy to fragrances, you should live in a bubble.
Or, perhaps the government should give you a bodyguard who pushes people wearing fragrances out of your way wherever you go?

I do not have a "deadly" allergy to fragrances,BUT I remember how miserable Church was for me back when I was a kid until we figured it out that it was because of all of those older ladies wearing that cheap hairspray
I'm still that way to this very day..cheap hairspray,to much perfume etc etc and I get an almost instant migraine headache that nearly always leads to me getting sick to my stomach.
That being said,I smoke like a freight train,weld in smoke and fumes,paint vehicles,run equipment with diesel smoke blowing everywhere,haul cattle with them stinking like a dead mule etc and I can handle that...I just can't hack that Final Net
I think something has changed about perfumes. I used to wear them in my 20s. Not often but occasionally and they never caused a problem. Now, they are either stronger, or people are wearing them more heavily. It's like the scent gets into my nose and mouth and I can taste it. Even after they leave. I don't get a headache or wheezing, but my eyelids start itching and the get a rash on them that lasts for days. I don't know what it is, but it's not comfortable.
My son, who does have asthma, got an asthma attack when we went into Ulta over Christmas.
Something is going on with the perfumes because so many more people are having problems.
