Not really. It can cause certain dangers (like being unable to smell, idk, a certain kind of gas leak or something) or inconveniences (like being unable to smell your meal burning in the oven and having your sense of taste greatly impacted) but it ultimately isn't terribly difficult to live your life without a sense of smell

It can also affect your sex drive due to pheromone sensitivity or lack thereof and it's one of the conditions that will keep you out of the military, firefighting, culinary arts and so on.

Not incredibly damaging in general but if you wanted to or were in the middle of pursuing one of those professions, you're more or less fucked.

Would I say it's as difficult as being blind though, of course not.

Yes and no, which makes it annoying when social justice people keep insisting all disabled people are oppressed. So it forces this confusion where a literal disability doesn't "count" as a disability any more, and saying that you literally have a disability is now un-PC and claiming that you're oppressed.

Eh, I lost my sense of smell a few years ago and I don't really consider myself disabled (well, I guess in a literal sense I'm disabled, but it's not a label I really apply to myself and I don't tell people that I'm disabled). Not sure how other people without a sense of smell feel about it though

about as much as someone who wears glasses

na

not really picking sides here, but I think that's a slightly different case. Someone with glasses is able to see fine if they're, well, wearing glasses but there's not really an easy equivalent that someone can do for their sense of smell (as far as I know).

Eh, I'd agree that it's a different case, but more because you can get through life with very little impact if you can't smell. Needing glasses on the other hand has pretty big impact on someone's life.

In a literal sense, certainly.

As someone who probably is anosmic (I can only smell the very, very strongest of smells) I'd consider it an inconvenience more than a disability. Certainly it's useful, but it doesn't impact my life in a way that being deaf does or that being blind certainly would.

Maybe a very, very minor one.

I'd be sad to be anosmic, but there are times it'd probably come in handy. Today I went to the new building of one of the card shops I play at and it smelled like sewage. I don't think I'll go back there very often
