Don't underestimate the amount of education needed for this opinion to be understood and enter conscious awareness.

The marketing ploy of an attractive woman breathing in those delicious scents counts for much more to the majority of the population.

Regulators need to crack down on this deception, it's the only proven way.

I think it's more so that people don't believe it's bad unless they start drinking parfume.

And I'm like that as well. I have a a Febreeze oil thing stuck in a smart outlet so it works only a bit before I wake up and in the evening and my room smells like strawberries at the moment. I also shower with the scented stuff whenever I don't have to use the medicinal stuff, etc.

I know the scent probably isn't healthy but I also don't believe it's bad enough to where I should stop enjoying it. Especially considering people who vape aren't dying all over the place. You've got people huffing scents out of X00 Watt sticks for years before it fucks them up in some way in comparison to which my exposure is probably invisible on the graph.
