Some people like the smell of ozone.

Ozone doesn't have a smell. What you actually smell is your nose burning. Ozone is a very aggressive oxidizer.

Looking directly at the sun is also a super bad idea.

Wait, what? Do you have a source for this?


> Ozone doesn't have a smell.

This does not sound right. This is what I see on Wikipedia which is also exactly what I was taught in high school:

> It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell.
