Wikipedia has a source and one that is definitely worth mentioning is a totally stupid pastime and one that must be avoided at all costs. This is called The Cinnamon Challenge.

Cinnamon is the subject of an internet meme which means it is an idea or behavior style that spreads from person to person and has sadly, throughout the WWW. It involves an attempt to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon without inhaling the cinnamon or vomiting.

Despite thousands of video-documented attempts, few seem able to succeed. One notable challenger was the host of the television show Tosh.0, who failed.

Most don't seem to realize that, even if breathing through their nose, they usually inhale the cinnamon dust, resulting in a very painful and probably dangerous experience. It takes a great deal of liquid to saturate a tablespoon of powder.

This dust is easily carried in any air that is shared between the mouth and throat. Often the challengers then panic and gasp for air through their mouth, inhaling a large amount of cinnamon.

This is worth mentioning, not because for one minute most of us would dream of attempting such foolishness, but more as a word of caution not to inhale it!

There are sources who state sniffing cinnamon will boost your brain power! Smelling the aroma and sniffing it directly are most definitely two different things!
