People who wear perfume are toxic, not quite as toxic as if you were wearing it yourself, but similar to us breathing passive smoke from the smoker so too do we all breathe in passive toxins from perfumes others wear. In a recent trip to the shops in the New Year I found myself stood in a queue waiting to exchange some goods, in front was a women wearing perfume, so I stood well back. Behind was a man wearing aftershave, who insisted on standing as close a possible as if he was going to lose him place in the queue. After 30 mins we finally got to the tills and exchanged our goods, and I heaved a sigh of relief only to be grated by second hand smoke as we left the shop.
On regular occasions I practice holding my breath, usually as we pass the smokers to enter the supermaket or if I have to brave the toxic isle, but there are certain times when it just plain doesn't work.
So.. I found this saying and it's one that I think I will use a lot. "Scent free people rock!" Go scent free if you care about yourself, and go scent free if you care about others.
