Why does laser printer toner smell so good!

I have this bad habit at work where I would smell freshly printed paper. How much do i have to sniff before i get a high?
 
I was bored today at work (damn red call queue) so I grabbed a cartridge from one of our wide format lasers & tore it open.

I have a developing roller & an imaging drum now as toys. And a plastic garbage bag full of cartridge parts & a whole crapload of toner.

It's great, I can roll the developing roller around on my desk & my monitor changes colors.

HAHA! IT's gonna have your ass for ruining a monitor. 😀 Then again, they don't care. The monitors they use are a dime a dozen

I know better than to hurt the monitor.

This roller isn't strong enough to do much damage anyway, but a 12" wide magnet is fun.

I dont know if they still do this in grade school but i remember the teacher would run off to make copies and shed come back with a fresh stack of copies. i dont think anyone could forget the smell fresh copies in grade school the ones with the blue ink. They were done by placing a master copy on a drum and crankign out copies. i cant recall at the moment the name of the machine

DO NOT EAT TONER

Are you speaking from experience? You have to tell us what happens now, because you have 100,000 geeks wondering what will happen if you eat toner.
