One 2014 study conducted by a collaborative research team at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom and University of Texas provides some ample support for the idea that smelling hydrogen sulfide could be good for you.
The study was based on the notion that mitochondria, the part of your cells that help produce energy, could benefit from this gas.
In this study, researchers noticed that when cells in arteries or veins experience damage or stress linked to certain conditions, these cells use the body’s own enzymes to create hydrogen sulfide.
This gas then allows the cell to better regulate the oxidative stress often caused by these conditions, which eventually results in inflammation that can kill the cell.
That's a good question. Not whether or not it is healthy, but what exactly would motivate a person to smell their own farts? What king of contortion is required to be able to do that. AND why would anyone suddenly desire to do this?

Contortion? Sometimes all that's required is staying in the room.

Is fart smelling a thing?
Unfortunately, you don't have to contort yourself to smell it. It can reach your nose whether you want it to or not.
Keep in mind words of wisdom:
- He (or she) who smelt it, dealt it.
- A skunk smells its own hole first.
- What is the sharpest thing in the world? A fart. It can cut through Superman's pants without tearing.
- What is the strongest thing in the world? A fart. It can clear out a crowded elevator.
- Smelling your own farts or the farts of others is called snarfing.
- There are people who are professional (medical) fart sniffers.
- A fetish known as eproctophilia - people who get turned on by the smell of farts.
- Bob Dylan wrote a song called, "Blowin' in the Wind". (Nothing to do with smelling farts though)
