I can tell the exact moment one guy at church gets there if he sits within 3 rows of us and 10 seats on either side. I say that if you have to wear that much cologne, you might as well save some money and water and ixnay on the owershay. It is true, any strong smell affects us worse than most.

This crud in the air, it smells kind of like chemicals and mold, and diesel fumes. If it were visible it would be a green black blob hanging from the celling. My coworkers finally got annoyed enough with my coughing they decided to attempt to help me out by spraying some "pretty" smelling bathroom spray. Yea, that didn't work, made it worse, but at least they tried! I think I will stay late and open the doors, after everyone leaves. Even though it is 26 degrees outside! Brrrr!

Try this... it's really fun. I use it all the time. Make sure they know you got a whiff of the smoke... wait for it, wait for it, cough your head off like you mean it! Make 'em feel bad, really bad. I've had people put their cigs out and sulk away. It can actually make me feel better on a bad day. When I have to walk with someone who busts out a smoke. I watch the wind and keep shifting when the smoke gets close. They get the signal, because, as ignorant as they are, <em>most</em> smokers aren't trying to be as rude as they appear. Hope you feel better. I know exactly what you mean, but perhaps this is a tad on the ‘victim’ side. Try this… it’s really fun. I use it all the time.

wait for it, wait for it,
cough your head off like you mean it!
