That’s true. I’m reminded of how the “new car smell” (a smell adults actively seek out as it is considered pleasant) actually consists of toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, and volatile organic compounds.
Yeah there’s a big failure in education regarding dangerous smells. I have had multiple adults tell me that they love the smell of gasoline and like to breathe deep at the gas station…
Totally beside the point, but is it just me or is that article written really strangely? Overall it has a kinda high school newspaper vibe, but in particular the attempts at humor are both awkward and numerous.
The information itself is good, though, so thank you for sharing!

Forbes has fell off in recent times so it’s not surprising the article feels that way
