In Tokyo, it is common for folks to walk around wearing cotton surgical masks or the paper versions thereof. Wearers are 1) sick, and doing everyone a favor, 2) allergic to whatever is in the air that day, or 3) just reluctant to breath unfiltered air on a packed subway. Although this looks kind of
weird, it is a habit that could well catch on in other parts of the world, especially in this time of geopolitical instability.
My product: scented oil that can gently, slowly release a pleasant smell of your choosing, a few drops of which may dripped onto said mask before you head out in the morning. It could make the morning subway-commute significantly more palatable. This would also be useful for workers who operate under high-stink conditions.

How about nose plugs and a filter that goes inside your mouth? That way New Yorkers wouldn't piss on you for being disrepectful to their smog and germs. |

DrOuD: we'll make an exception for you, and piss on you anyway. |

Ok, pediatric pre-operative breathing bags hardly constitutes baking of this idea. I also think you have a long way to go until you get to the Michael Jackson stage. Another beneficial application: international flights in Asia, where people are now donning masks to combat the new super-pneumonia virus. |

I didn't say it was complicated. Maybe if I could work in a clock somehow . . . |

Like perfume in a hanky...that's what made civilization possible centuries ago... |
