A curry ban ?

[derekpara]

As a non-curry eater I object to breathing in someone else's curry fumes.

Can secondary curry breathing damage my health ?

I object to being engulfed by curry fumes in public and confined spaces like trains, buses etc, and having to inhale curry gases which have already been through other people's digestive systems ! Sometimes it is strong enough to cling to my clothing so that when I get home Mrs Para says ' Pooh, you've been near a curry eater on the train.' What's to be done ?

I used to work as a volunteer at a nightshelter, and I would say far preferable to breathing in the fumes of someone who's been swigging methylated spirits.

You may have missed the 9 o'clock news tonight but the government have imposed a total ban on curry eating in public places in Scotland. This includes buses, taxis and even your own car, van or wagon. Where will this end, there is a rumour that the Cornish pastie may be investigated within weeks.

Are you by any chance a smoker?

[Ethel]

Can't be a smoker is he has his sense of smell.

I love the smell of curry. Each to their own!! Why not have your sense of smell removed? Problem solved.

or borrow Michael Jackson's oxygen tent thingy?

I have never noticed curry on anybody... weird... I notice garlic and smokes and thats about it... OW and pipes GROSS... but curry.. hmmm.. and no curry breath would ever harm your health.. nor would smelling somebodys farts hahah... Good luck.. my advice would be to carry a cloth with you .. that way when your on a train you can take it out of your pocket and cover your face so you can breath in the smell of your cloth.. maybe even put a sprits of your own smell on the cloth...

Hi i hate curry and my fella used to eat it all the time, and if it was a strong curry he would sweat the smell out of his armpits. Belive me it was mingin, but now he is on a diet and he only has about 1 a month if that. Thank god. So maybe its thier armpits what smell:)

Thanks everyone for your great answers. My question was fairly tongue-in-cheek.

No, Spacechimp, I am not a smoker, never have been.

I think you're right, honey, heavy curry eaters do exude the odour from their pores and if there was a call for curry-free zones I would support it !
