    Are there any side effects to smelling the playbook ? I googled it and did not find any answer. Not sure if the occasional inhalation of the scent if the leather like matte will have any health impact. Please share if you have any info.

    The scent has faded some but it is still there. Not too strong, not too faint.

    I like the smell. But I think NY Times (might have been someone else) recently ran an article on household toxins. The new car smell, the smell of dry-cleaned clothes, etc are ultimately all chemicals and aren't doing you any good. I wouldn't worry too much smelling the playbook. I don't think anyone's gonna die from smelling the playbook.

    you will grow man potatoes on your chin, your gentleman sausage will fall off, my bum may randomly reek of listerien, your eyes will become rubics cubes, your anus may or may not gain threads, your tounge will gain a mouth that won't keep quiet, and there is a small chance you could die.

    you nailed it.
    all plastics have toxins that are released after manufacturing.
    theres not enough toxins from a pb to kill u. if there is, the millions of ppl with new cars would be long dead from that 'new car smell'

    enjoy the new pb smell while it still lasts, lol

    New BB's smell more like "electronics" then the PB out of the box.

    I figured its moreso due to the neoprene case which has its own cheap smell, that the Playbook has been wrapped in since its trip over from China.

    A couple of days after I got my PB, my wife starts wanting to learn to play the clarinet. She's always hated the clarinet.
