Why is smelling ink bad for you?

Smelling ink can be harmful primarily due to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and solvents present in many inks, which can release toxic fumes. Inhalation of these chemicals may lead to respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, and other health problems. Prolonged exposure can result in more severe effects, particularly in poorly ventilated areas. It's best to minimize inhalation of ink fumes to protect your health.
