I know not everyone agrees with me (in fact I'm inexplicably in the minority on this one) but I have always disliked the smell of roasting (or, more accurately in most cases, burning) chestnuts, which is quite common on the streets in the evening. To me it smells a bit sickly-sweet, and anyway, I can practically feel the cancers starting when I smell it (*). But I never knew the smoke could dissolve people!
(*) BTW Of course I have no scientific evidence for this; it's just a feeling. But breathing any sort of smoke is generally a bad idea ... right? All those carcinogenic active carbon compounds ...
