Smoke or air-refresher smell

If I would have to choose between a stairway that smells of cigarettes or one that smells heavily of that bathroom air-refresher thing I really know which I would take. I have one of the latter on my Torshälla round and I hate it. (They have lots of signs forbidding smoking, hence the choice between cigarette smoke and the other thing). I get nauseous after one breath in there. Maybe the smell is OK in a toilet, maybe, but in a stairway where I have to go to perform my job it is really not. I am contemplating about leaving a note saying that if they want their mail they have to loose the refreshers.
