Smelling the liquid in a test tube directly is not recommended due to the potential risks involved. The vapors from the liquid could be harmful or toxic, posing a health hazard when inhaled directly. Additionally, some substances may be volatile and easily evaporate, leading to a strong odor that could be overwhelming or cause respiratory irritation. It is safer to waft the vapors towards your nose gently using your hand to minimize the risk of exposure.
