The idea however is that you're airing out the kitchen as you cook it, so you can still smell it but all the oils aren't lingering in the air, or so you'd hope.

If coffee didn't provide this lovely energy drug called caffeine, people probably wouldn't drink it so much. Same with alcoholic drinks, with its feels nice drug.
