The acetone from the nail polish remover irritates the sinuses man.

Why do Asians wear polo shirts, cargo pants and Chuck Taylor's while working out?

I wish more people would wear masks, especially those that don't like to wash their hands..

Some wear them when they are sick and don't want to spread anything.

I've spent a lot of time in Taiwan and South Korea... Basically, as a form of respect to others, it they wake up in the morning and sneeze, sniffle, or cough - they will wear the mask that day to ensure they don't infect anyone else.

If they sneeze or cough during the day, the majority of them will put on the mask.

It is also used as a preventative measure if they know someone they work or go to school with has a cold or something.

It really is a respectful thing.

yeah and it's exacerbated by the fact that many areas in asia are so densely populated that it's very easy for disease to spread

It's all that and the fact that they have reported deaths from the shite like SARS of which there isn't a cure. I think they're laying a come bet that it's inevitable a virus like that reaches the US

I was told in SE Asia because the women dont want their skin to darken from pollution or the sun.

if you have white skin you are beautiful and if you have dark skin you are thought to be lower class and poor.
