Stockholm isn't particularly windy.

I think cars generally contribute to bad smells, and poor waste management infrastructure can also contribute to bad smells (think garbage bins out on streets instead of enclosed, for example)

It's situated on an archepilago in the Baltic sea. Sure, it might be less windy than other coastal cities, but Stockholm is far windier than cities in-land.

Stockholm has tolls to reduce road congestion though. The place was definitely smellier back in the 90's.
