You can smell paper. Paper is actually made of strong fibers from the bark of the tree and has lignin, a strong natural adhesive (or glue), that holds it all together. Unless you don't like the smell of trees, I think what you are smelling is the lignin. As to the specific reason to why you gag at the smell, well, only you can figure that out ;)Health Question & Answer

OMG, I HATE the smell of paper! And no, it DOES have a smell! It's not mental health issues; it's just a personal preference. Like how some people hate the smell of vanilla but I like it. You just happen to have a more severe case of paper-smell-hating. It's okay. Honestly.Health Question & Answer
