No comment .. 'cause I smoke meself, but will now start campaign on some modern perfumes that people insist on wearing ..not all mind you, love perfume, just certain essences..which they insist on wearing , I sneeze, feel sick,stomach churns, can actually taste, light headed,short of breath, have to go outside to recover. Those swinging perfume things in cars (vanilla especially) give me what I can only describe as an asthma attack ! .. had to stop one day under ossy railway bridge, as overwhelming urge to vomit.. in company car .. had taken it out but smell lingered .. felt ill next day on 400 mile trip 'cause of this soaked smelly piece of cardboard !
That's my next campaign anyway.
Ever smelt 'Angel' ... can smell it 1/2 mile away .. even through cigarette smoke... yuk. These are damaging my health !!

Ok Katex, but I doubt you were at any serious risk from it. There are some perfumes I cannot stand, but have no real problem with them. Your reaction sounds like allergy. Secondary smoking kills.

Well party round at mine, because I won't be going out as much.

It will be interesting to see if all those non-smoking party animals fill the places in the once busy pubs, now they have no excuses, once all the smokers have vacated.

Yeah, right.

Beg to differ .. am at serious risk here .. alllergies are serious and can kill, and I certainly feel like my number is up when I breathe (or not breathe) in these perfumes.
Not going into the smoking issues now, the problem can be overcome with no harm to anyone with modern air-extractors, but non-smokers do not wish to hear this.

Why? It's full of self abusers.

(Note to self- never go into a pub with a smoking blanket.)

Not quite true.
