Raptor, it appears that you have a personal gripe with punkrockfolker for things he said. I agree with you that people should not feel that their opinion and/or knowledge makes them superior to all others. Still, it appears that you are discrediting some of the things he is saying out of spite rather than reason.

If you agree that we need to legislate the use of these chemicals, you would probably agree that we need to regulate how and where they are used - if you read the information on what they can do. Whether it is the pub, a school or a hospital - should people inflict others?

As for his point about laws, I tend to agree with the spirit he is saying. After all, why do we need any laws if we trust people?

Punkrockfolker may not "know better" than anyone else here, but I do think in this case he knows some of the facts. Having two friends who knowingly suffer from this problem, I have seen how it can effect people. Now that we know a bit more about the makeup of these "scents" (something the perfume industry was reluctant to divulge for decades), we can make a few more educated decisions on how we are to use them.
