Article Abstract:
A number of companies and public offices in Halifax, Nova Scotia, are seeking to discourage the usage of perfumes by staff and visitors, who may be asked to wash if they smell secnted. There are many ways that sensory stimuli can be annoying, such as sounds from Walkmans and mobile phone, or the sight of people dressed in bad taste. Hair transplants and hair cuts can remedy hair problems that might offend. There could even be laws against flowers in parks.
