Ban on smoking seems to have side effects

[chrishansenhome]

In Singapore, as well as in England, smoking was banned in most indoor venues on July 1. Those of us who do not smoke heaved sighs of relief (and we can now do so with great lungfuls of cleaner air).

However, I have seen several articles in newspapers and blogs complaining about the stench that remains in pubs and clubs after smoking was banned. People are complaining about body odours of various sorts, including underarm odour and other, less socially acceptable, odours.

I think it's a conspiracy to try to get those of us who cannot stand smoke in venues to relent. The conclusion to which they want us to come is that smoke odour is better than those other odours.

I say, put deodorant in goodie bags and hand it out at club and pub entrances.

And as for other smells, ban those who've eaten beans, cabbage, garlic, or onions in the past 24 hours.

You know you want to.

It would have to be American deodorant. I have yet to find British deodorant that does the job. I think it must all be manufactured by the French!
