Perhaps your mum meant "damage" in the same way that a sculptor "damages" a block of marble.

I do remember one smell of books I disliked, and they were the (generally science-related) textbooks at school. Now, you might, with reasonable assumption, cite Pavlovian Reflex with that one too, but science classes were about the only thing I liked about school. No, it was that, whether it was the glue, or bleach, or ink, or whatever, they always seemed to reek of vomit.
