Unlike with darkness or silence I don't think you can ever escape smell.
It's all a matter of adaptation to a smell.
In your house you don't smell anything sometimes but when you return from a road trip or whatever you suddenly realise you can smell something that you previously became so adapted to that you thought it didn't smell at all.
Simmilar to being at a hospital / dentists and going outside afterwards, suddenly the air doesn't smell like nothing but stinks because you became adapted to the cleaner air inside.
Near the west coast of Canada, in a river valley. I guess the river carries clean mountain air in and pushes our stank out to sea? Or maybe my nose just isn't very sensitive.
Sounds real nice
I'm basically living in Silesia in Poland which had a lot of industrial stuff going on back in the days.
Bad air quality is quite normal here and I forgot rural areas are a thing lol
