Is it normal that i get random urges to sniff certain things?

Sometimes out of the blue, I will get this strong urge to sniff gasoline (one of my favorite scents), or something similar to that, like cleaning products.

I know that these scents aren't healthy for you to inhale constantly, but still, I sometimes consider getting just a small bit of gasoline and keeping it in a small container so that I can smell it whenever I get the urge.

Before you ask, I am not on drugs, and never have done them,
I just really like certain scents.

Is this normal?

    I'll have to admit, some cleaning products do smell quite nice. I don't go out of my way to smell them because I worry about my brain health. When I was around 10 or 11, I got in the habit of inhaling febreeze. I didn't realize what I was doing was considered "huffing", I wasn't doing it for the lightheaded sensation, that I know of, I was doing it because it smell nice and I thought that it was okay because the people in the commercials did it. Well, one day, I made the mistake of telling a relative and this relative accused me of being a drug addict and refused to believe me when I repeatedly told her that I wasn't doing it to get high nor did I know that was what I was doing. I a very upsetting experience that was…

    I'm too crazy about laundry detergents, but I do like the smell of some soap.

    Gasoline smells really good for some reason.

    Gasoline addiction is actually a real thing.

      Man, I watched a video about a woman addicted to gasoline, she kept bottles of it around her home.
      I don't think I'm that bad. I just like smelling it whenever I'm at a gas station and it's in the air. :/

        I saw that too. The lady ended up getting nerve damage from sniffing it for so long.

    it could be ocd. I heard and read of people who use bleach on everything just so they could always smell it wherever they go.

    it can develop during or after pregnancy too.

      Never been pregnant, so that couldn't be the problem.
      I do have OCD though, so that might be it.

      No, I don't smell them long enough to get woozy,
      just maybe a sniff or two.

    I drove truck for awhile so I like the smell of diesel fuel. Humans have a strong link to smells. I enjoy smelling my wife panties after a long day at work. Or her period pads.
