When I walk into my classes I am always overcome by a potpourri of smells. Every single perfume, cologne or fragrance combined into a noxious gas.

Do you think that the fumes of these fragrances are as bad as those of second-hand smoke? I read an article that spoke about the possible negative effects of such a high concentration of chemicals. I know they are real. A girl in my class always gets headaches from the fragrances.

If that is so, should schools ban the use of fragrances if they cause negative/adverse effects on students and that in turn makes a bad learning environment?

I would rather smell too much axe than too much BO!!!!

I think it should be lightly dusted on. BO is no fun but there is so many people with allergies that it is common coutesy to think of them. Light body spray or powder is a great way to add alittle scent to your bod if you think it is needed

Well, I know there are some people that do not seem to practice any sort of hygiene. However, I think that there is people that overuse fragrances than people who smell bad.
