Chemical based allergens are chemical based allergens. It's not fair to signal out one group of offenders. (And before anyone says that cigarettes are related to cancer and perfume is not, do some research. Ingredients in perfume ARE related to cancer and illnesss.)

I think that there is a LITTLE bit of a difference. OK, some perfumes may be linked to cancer and illness, but I'd rather put up with people wearing perfume than smoking.
