We do need to fight this absurdity. Our typical neighborhood has many
smells that varying folks dislike or find offensive: exhaust fumes, grossly
smelly perfumes emitted from dryer vents --gagball!, cigarette smoke, lawn
chemicals, burning flesh from the barbecues (as our vegetarian neighbor
calls this), privet hedges, hawthorn trees that, when in bloom, ~strongly
smell like burning rubber, etc.
Some people are extremely allergic to pollen from "notorious" flowers such
as lilies and bearded iris. Others are allergic to (yes) lawn grasses.
You get my drift
Tell 'em, "Look, we can't pad the corners of the world"!
