I am not for sure if I would go as far as banning perfume. Although some people can put it on pretty strong. I have worked in the medical field for 21yrs. We were told as I was in school not to wear cologne or perfumes while working with patients. You have no idea who has lung problems or allergies and how they would react. I will tell you since I have been trying to get over my pneumonia I smell strong perfume coming a mile away I start to cough. Pretty gross. People should really watch how much they put on. If I wear any perfume I spray very lightly. If I can smell myself with it on what do others think of the smell?

I'd rather deal with someone who wears too much cologne or body spray or aftershave- than someone who is stinky and has bad B.O.

I think that these perfumes should not be banned- its going too far and most people will not be able to agree on what colognes smell good or not (unless they start making skunk and garbage cologne and people start wearing them to be funny).

If wearing a scent made a co-worker Ill I wouldnt wear it! Im alergic to acetone and I get a headache if I breath it and I have to go to the hospital if it get on my skin! Its a matter of respect to others!

Lets just ban everything that has a smell to it then noone will get ill.

I say ban smoking, drinking, perfume, laundry soap, pop, coffee, milk, water, barbecue grills, cars, bikes then when we are all done with that we can regulate how much everyone is aloud to breath. Ban computers, TV and radio while we are at it.

LOL You are right, my bad

I agree with girlscout.

I use the word "ban" as a blanket to regulate or control as well as considering the possibility of an actual ban. E.g. smoking ban, smoking itself isn't banned you just can't smoke inside a public building (although I think with that ban is a propaganda word)
