Anyone who ride mass transit knows that you could end up standing or sitting beside someone who may not realize that they stink. This could be body odor, excessive perfume use, lingering cooking odors or even tobacco smoke odor. Regardless of the cause, the odors could cause great discomfort to some people. So, to tackle the problem, the councilors in Honolulu have put forth a bill forbidding people to,

“bring onto transit property odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system, whether such odors arise from one’s person, clothes, articles, accompanying animal or any other source.” (HonoluluAdviser.com)

The problem is, just how smelly is too smelly? What may be just a mild nuisance to one person may be close to unbearable to another. Will there be an official smell-detail of law enforcement?
