  Because I know someone who reacts to perfumes, I have seen the effects that perfumes can cause to people. And I personally dislike the smells of perfumes and colognes. So I ask: Should perfumes be banned? rather I should say: Should offensive fragrances be banned? This could leave room for people to still wear perfume, just not the overpowering offensive kind.

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?

Who would determine what scent is overpowering and offensive? This would be very tough to do. Yes, some people use too much cologne. A minor annoyance and not the worst problem in life to deal with. My opinion? I think banning fragrances is going to far. Common sense and consideration of other people should be the rule, not the law!

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).

Good Question but hard to decided. What may smell great to one person maybe offensive to someone else.

I forgot to mention this in the post, but what about regulating the manufacturing of them. Perhaps the use of some sort of rating system to determine what it to strong.

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.

I think that depending on your job..it should be. I have served and bartended in resteraunts for plus or minus 16 years and worked with quite a few people who wear to much cologne or perfume...especially those foul fruity body sprays from bath and body. Those are discusting and many people wear way, way to much of it. Now I think that if you are serving food you should not wear it because not only can it taint the taste of the food but that's all you smell when your server or bartender walk away. So in certain work situations I can see the point however not completly ban it everywhere....aren't we getting a little nuerotic with the whole banning thing?

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)

I see...i do agree with you to an extent that yes in certain enviornments it needs to be controlled.
