#It is permitted to smell food which is forbidden from benefit and certainly something non-kosher unless the food was prepared specifically for fragrance. <ref>The Gemara Avoda Zara 66b discusses whether a smell ('reyacha') is halachically significant. The Rashba Teshuva 3:234 writes that for anything that isn't made to give off a smell even if it is forbidden for benefit such as Orlah or Kilayim it is permitted to smell. Tosfot Avoda Zara 12b s.v. elah disagrees. Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 108:6 rules like the Rashba, while Shach 108:27 sides with the Tosfot.
