I do it without even realizing I'm doing it.
I have a system for not smelling my fellow commuters.
As I navigate through the trains, passage ways, subways, and stairs, I am assessing the best way to get through. Another thing that I do is determine how smelly the person walking in the opposite direction is and hold my breath until I feel it is safe to breathe again.
Generally, I do this to avoid smelling the homeless people or the super high maintenance rich woman that drown themselves in perfume. You also get accustomed to the high odor areas of the subways where the public bathrooms, aka break in the wall, are.
Good luck!

I have developed a technique of my own. I can actually shut off my sense of smell and force myself to breath entirely through my mouth. I’m not sure how I learned to do this, but it sure comes in hand. Problem is; I usually have to get that first smelly wif, before I know to shut off the ole olfactory glands.
Try sucking on a really strong mint - the ones that are strong enough to give you a slight tingle in the sinuses. This will block the smell from your nose and taste buds and should alleviate your discomfort. You could always try the cream the coroners use when they are performing an autospy - like in Silence of the Lambs.
I hope they pay you allot to commute into NYC, its sounds like a real pleasure trip - u cant smell or breathe,u cant touch anything and you have to avoid all the other nasty habits of the other travelers.
