smelling pills

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

A weirdly innocent-sounding euphemism for snorting medication through your nose, as if 'smelling' makes it sound less like you're crushing pills and inhaling them. It's basically trying to rebrand insufflation as a casual aromatherapy session. Spoiler alert: your doctor probably recommends the oral route.

Example Usage

Dude, are you seriously smelling pills again? That's not what the prescription bottle means by 'take as directed.'
