Hello Ruth,

I have to do that also.  Strong scents/perfumes lock my lungs up or I go into a coughing fit.  I carry an emergency albuterol inhaler thesde days.

I'm looking at getting an electric grill eventually.  No charcoal or propane grills here due to insurance limitations.

  In the name of sportsmanship, let's consider one more way to look at
  fruits and vegetables.  "According to L.H. Bailey, a vegetable is in
  horticultural usage, an edible herbaceous plant or part thereof that
  is commonly used for culinary purposes.  In common usage, the fruits
  of the tomato, cucumber, squash, etc., are considered as vegetables,
  grown with other vegetables in the home garden, although of course
  each one is a seed bearing organ and hence, under strict usage of the
  language, might be considered a fruit." It is also as popularaly
  understodd, any plant cultivated for its edible parts.  This loose
  definition includes roots (beet and carrot), tubers (potato), stems
  (celery), leaves (lettuce), flower buds and heads (cauliflower),
  fruits (tomato), and seeds (peas, beans, corn).

  Looking back to the list, we can easily slip into familiar habits:
  artichoke, asparagus, avocado, bean, beet, broccoli, brussels sprouts,
  cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, corn, cucumber, eggplant,
  lettuce, onion, parsnip, pea, pepper, potato, radish, squash, and
  tomato are vegetables, all the others are fruits.

  In other words, if you call it a vegetable, and your neighbour calls
  it a vegetable, and your local grocer calls it a vegetable, then it
  must be a vegetable. You like the sound of this? Fine with us. And,
  deep in our hearts, we suspect that's the best way to play, according
  to Hoyle.
