#It is permitted to smell food which is forbidden from benefit and certainly something non-kosher unless the food was prepared specifically for fragrance. <ref>The Gemara Avoda Zara 66b discusses whether a smell ('reyacha') is halachically significant. The Rashba Teshuva 3:234 writes that for anything that isn't made to give off a smell even if it is forbidden for benefit such as Orlah or Kilayim it is permitted to smell. Tosfot Avoda Zara 12b s.v. elah disagrees. Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 108:6 rules like the Rashba, while Shach 108:27 sides with the Tosfot. [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=1696 Rabbi Shmuel Pinchasi on dailyhalacha.com] follows Shulchan Aruch. See Or Tzadikim 12:59 who writes that one shouldn't smell non-kosher food since one might come to eat it.</ref>

eat fish and cheese because milk is derived from blood which causes the one who eats it to become cruel and when that mixes with fish which causes the one who eats it to become lazy together they are negative for a person's soul.
