Many people are adding smell ,perfume chemicals to sanitizers.Any body allergic to these, may suffer from Allergic bronchitis. If you are allergic to normal sanitizer,also,you may get allergic bronchitis. Some people put sanitizer on the mask,that is also not good.

Just smell shouldn’t harm. But “sniffing” should not be done.
