Sharpie markers smell mostly because of a man named Thomas Jefferson. One time he had a terrible teacher that really smelled bad, so he made the product SHARPIE to compliment her smell. It has a huge impact on her one day, so he told the principal.ladkjfgadlsk;adslkjghmv,ansdxz

Whiteboard markers smell because of the chemicals that dissolve when the ink is applied to the board. The ink begins as a liquid inside the pen and dries almost instantaneously when it is applied to the surface, at which point only static electricity causes the ink to cling to the board and not fall off. The chemical dissipates into the air, causing the smell we are familiar with.
