Seems more like a sense than a smell. It&#x27;s probably worth investigating, but the headline seems spurious given the qualifications in both the nw article and the original study. Hospitalizations seems a poor measure from which to draw broader conclusions.<p>&gt; &quot;Those things could not be measured in this study. This leaves open the possibility that while Ozempic may (for reasons currently unknown) prevent people from taking so much alcohol or heroin that they overdose and end up in a hospital, it may not actually help them to reduce their substance use, or to abstain altogether.&quot;
