Leave the scents at home, please

REGARDING Laurie Berger’s column on malodorous passengers [“If a Seatmate Smells Bad, Come Clean to the Crew -- Quickly,” Travel Q&A;, Dec. 4]: As someone who is not only sensitive but who also has asthma triggered by scented products, air fresheners represent a very real health hazard. I travel frequently, and I find myself more and more holding my breath while I scramble for my medication as people and their pungent fumes enter the area.
