EVERYthing is made of chemicals
People are mentally ill about "chemicals" being bad. And everybody has their own opinion about what is tolerable and acceptable and desired and unwelcome.
I mean, flatulence is disgusting (sometimes more than others). Some incense is better than others, and in different quantities. People are sensitive to perfumes. Cleaning chemicals freak people out about being toxic or dangerous. Cigarettes are a constant battle over the carcinogenic properties of second-hand smoke.
We all need to respect one another. Civilly discuss our preferences. And keep our word about not crossing the red lines, the limits we should adapt to.
If you have mental illness, cigarettes can be helpful, sometimes. Some odors make people sick. Body odor can be especially offensive, but we don't need to spend fortunes on chemicals to mask and cleanse and purify. There IS such a thing as TOO clean, I think.
The sense of smell is the strongest trigger for memories, good or bad.
Use scents wisely, kindly, positively.
Please.
