Does anybody else love the smell of newspapers?
A lot of people at work dislike the smell of newspapers. I happen to love it. Is it just me? Perhaps being part of an older generation has something to do with it.

No not newspapers. But, I like the smell of cigarettes or cigars and don't smoke anymore. I like the smell of 420.
I do. I get the weekend WSJ delivered and absolutely love the smell
Love the whole experience. The unfolding, the little shake, the whiff, cup of coffee on the side. It's far more efficient to quickly catch up on the ipad on weekdays but I'll take the time to do my weekend reading old school.
I don't. Had a roommate we pranked in school where we covered his bed in newspapers and he just slept on it for a couple of nights and he got really sick. It was like the "tequila moment" for me. Now the smell of well cared for leather like in a BMW interior or Audi/VW interior? That's my quiet obscure, eccentric pleasure.
Quite neutral to newspapers (and get sick to hordes and hordes of them), but I do like the smell of books. I think many can attest to that because it's a well-documented philia (love of smell of books), but love of smell of newspapers isn't documented
Nothing better than the pink broadsheet of the FT
I've actually never met anyone who dislikes it, although I am aware there are many. I love it, and the same goes for new books.
It's a great weekend morning smell to start off the day at breakfast imo
I like the smell of ethanol at the gas station
