Enticing, but likely bad for you, smells...?

Question

Why do new things smell so good but are likely bad for you? For instance a new car smell. The smell is from the carpeting and upholstery "curing" and is supposedly bad. A sharpie pen... Ever open up a package of brand new hockey cards and like the smell of them? Odd question, but still.

Answer 1

Clearly you have apsychological condition where the patient obsesses over smells, specially bad ones. I reache dthis diagnosis looking at this question and the other one where you state you are concerned your fats dont smell as bad as they used to. Run to the nearest Psychiatric hospital ( - :

Answer 2

Your point, I suppose, is that what you are smelling are industrial chemicals, and therefore not good? I'm assuming, trusting soul that I am, that if it was actually harmful to humans to smell the inside of a new car, the faithful lawyers of this nation would have raised up in righteous indignation and sued the pants off the new car manufacturers and dealers. Fact is, I suspect it is an air "freshener" that is intentionally used when cleaning and prepping the cars when they arrive at the dealer's showroom. It's called the smell of new money.
