New PETG Basic smells like ASA?

Why does it smell like ASA which its fume is considered carcinogens? It must be using some additives found in ASA. I’ve been printing PETG and ASA from many brands for years and no PETG ever smelled like the new PETG Basic. I thought maybe it was mislabeled, but it printed nicely with PETG Basic settings.

PETG is a popular material and lot of people are printing it with A series without proper ventilations. I’m referring to white color, maybe other colors don’t have ASA compounds in it?

ASA being carcinogenic doesn’t translate to “a given additive in ASA, which may be used in this PETG happens to be the one that’s carcinogenic”

Smell doesn’t automatically mean it’s carcinogenic, either.

Lots of logical fallacies going on here.
