It's not just one person, and some conditions cannot be treated. A little less self-absorption when out in a group in an enclosed situation (church comes to mind; rec center functions, and the like) is helpful.

If a person wants to douse herself with perfume and go take a walk in the park, that's one thing; but please don't sit next to me at church or that Christmas party with 200 people. And don't hug me, either!
