Why Smell is a Good Thing

I don't mean as in personal smell, but the sense of smell. One of the things we were taught in the Basic Rider Course is to use all of your senses to alert yourself to danger. This morning, yes, before 6 AM, I distinctly smelled the aroma of one of the slightly more common illicit substances being smoked in one of the cars ahead of me. While there were no ill effects on the actual commute, it was a good sign to be even more alert than usual when watching the cars today.
Why someone would be so inconsiderate as to drive while under the influence I don't know. I just hope they snap out of it before they have a bad wake up call.
