I think we have lost millions more people in this world who have died from smoking or 2nd hand smoke and long time suffering death - then from perfume - my dear father one of them from smoking.
   
Sorry, there is no comparison of perfume to the long term effects of cigarettes. I believe there are millions more people in this world - both men & woman who are smokers then people wearing too much perfume! "The likelihood of damage (from perfume) is probably less than with second-hand smoke." There is no "probably" here - damage from smoking and second-hand smoke IS THE ULTIMATE WORST THING!!

This is a post about smoking and second-hand smoke and seems like many are getting on the soap box talking about perfume, garlic, body odor - the likelihood of being exposed to these things in a club that permits smoking is many times less than those who are smoking.

When I used to go to music venues - smoking was by far outnumbered then people with those other problems. I can't recall people with body odors, or garlic or too much perfume at all. And I don't like those odors either but the problem of having to put up with smokers is far, far greater!
