Smelling or tasting substances in a science lab puts you at risk of injury or death if the substance is a hazardous substance.
In past centuries this was one way that scientists figured out what an unknown substance was, or tried to describe it so others could do that. Now, there are more effective and efficient means of identifying unknowns and the risk of absorbing something hazardous is no longer acceptable.
