Live free or sneeze? New Hampshire weighs ban on scents worn by state workers
Why must it always be minorities who are catered to? What about the majority who want to smell nice? I get a runny nose for various reasons. Why can't others just put up with it too?
Less is more, according to New Hampshire lawmakers debating whether to ban the use of scented or fragrant soaps by state employees. Under House Bill 1444, state workers who interact with the public would be prohibited from wearing fragrances or scented products while on the job
The reason for the proposed ban -- exposure to scented products can irritate or worsen symptoms for people with asthma or allergies. "The chemicals in some of these products can trigger the nasal congestion, sneezing and the runny nose," Dr. Stanley Fineman, an allergist with Emory University and the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic, told MyFoxBoston. "With the asthmatics, there's really good data showing their lung function changes when they're exposed to these compounds."
The legislation will get a vote Wednesday. If passed and signed into law, it would take effect within 60 days.

More micromanagement of people's lives by the state! Gotta love this Brave New World we live in, or is it 1984.
