No, but I've smell Sex Panther to know what it smells like. Not unlike pure gasoline or a turd covered in burnt hair.

If I had co-workers who were made sick by perfume, I wouldn't wear purfume to work. My mom is chemically allergic, so I don't wear scented lotion, burn candles, etc. when I know she'll be around. Seems like basic respect for others to me.

Not wearing perfume vs overcoming addiction......not even close.
Would you stop eating onions, garlic, or curry if people didnt' like that smell? Is it infringing on a colleagues rights if that smell makes them nauseous?
Seriously; where are we supposed to draw the line?
If the big, hairy mole on your face makes me nauseous, can I say that working with you interferes with my ability to do my job, therefore you should either have it removed or find another job?

I understand that some people have an addiction and I feel bad for them. But that's their own damn fault/problem. They need to figure out a way so that their addiction doesn't infringe on my right to not have migraines and nausea. Also, why is addiction an excuse for cigarettes but not for alcohol or drugs? I sure as fuck want to have a drink sometimes when I'm at work, but I'm not allowed to do that.

For the record, the smell of Indian food makes my office-mate naseaous - so, no, I don't eat curry at work. Once again, it's about having respect for the people around you. I also don't heat up fish in the microwave at work, don't play my music really loudly at work, and don't do any number of other things that might invade the personal space, well-being, or productivity of those around me.

You sound damn near perfect. Are you also ok with dismembering corpses?

i'm officially not satisfied with them not being allowed to smoke in public buildings. after putting up with this huge ashtray of a man who has sat next to me at work for the past year, i am now in favor of them being forced to work in their own blocked off little area of the office. this dude who sits next to me goes outside for a smoke break at least 2-3 times an hour and he REEKS. its so bad i am going to be getting a little fan for my desk to aim in his direction. it's disgusting.

i've never understood how smokers can't realize how bad they smell. if i smoked i would have axe or some other body spray on call at all times.

ever since i can remember i have hated the smell of cigarette smoke so perhaps this bugs me more than most people. but does anyone else have this problem at work or something? it actually affects my day to day activities. i'll be on the phone with someone and this guy will walk past me after taking a smoke break and the smell just hits me like a ton of bricks and i lose my train of thought.

naturally i am kidding about them having to work in their own section. i just needed a few minutes to vent. this is something that really gets under your jeagler's skin though. :evil: :evil: :evil: :twisted:

YES!
:twisted:

seriously, i AM a former smoker, and i cannot believe i went around 20 years of my life smelling like that!

there is this woman at work - who also is a mega-bitch so just adds to her appeal :roll: - and she is at the end of my cube row so i must walk past her cube every time i need to go anywhere in the office, which is often. she is disgusting! she totally REEKS! it's almost like pigpen from charlie brown, it's like an aura of smoke and stink surrounding her. EVERYbody comments on it. nasty. she goes out like once an hour, definitely has more than one ciggie - and comes back and stinks! scary thing too...she has to go all the way outside, then come up 32 floors, and the stink is still on her! i think it sticks to some people more than others for whatever reason, b/c other smokers in the office don't smell nearly as bad. you can actually tell if she has walked where you are, there's a smoke stink trail. she also makes nasty, phelgmy coughs all day long. she is just gross.

my mom, at almost 82 now! - is still a smoker. when we pick her up to take her places, when she first enters the car can smell the smoke...her condo smells like smoke...but otherwise, she is not nearly as bad.

it really is nasty to deal with all day long at work. so i feel for ya jeags and empathize.
