In addition, people who smoked for many years and quit may have trouble with
aromas of all kinds. I found I was not alone when, after 40 years, I quit
smoking and ended up having to give away all my perfumes and scants of all
types as well as being unable to use most cleaners [not just the Pine scented
ones]. At the allergy clinic I found many others who had the same problem and
there was nothing the doctors could do about it but recommend using unscented
cleaners. If anyone knows of any please share the information. Even natural
scents can be a problem.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT, Scents and such
Hi all. This has been an interesting non-book thread. <smile>
First, I want to acknowledge that there are folks who have a real-life
sensitivity to scents and it can be debilitating causing head aches and
breathing difficulty and much more. In fact, more folks than you'd think have
some level of sensitivity to scents and chemicals that normally appear in our
environment.
Having said that, there are definitely some scents that are better than
others, and I'm not talking about preferring peppermint to rose. Candles and
incense made with essential oils are much easier on everyone's senses and are
much more tolerable by folks who have a sensitivity to such things. It really
makes all the difference in the world. The same holds true to scented products
such as lotions, perfumes, soaps, etc. I always look for products with
all-natural ingredients including essential oils as the basis for the scent.
Here's to happy smells!
Peace and Hope,
Donna
