The smell can be bad sometime, but isn't nearly as pungeunt and smoking it straight up.

It's more along the lines of leaving a big bag open in the middle of the room.. you can definately smell the aroma but it disapates quickly. A fan and an open window will easily do the trick. If you are real worried about it.. put a dryer sheet behind the fan. Your room will smell like fresh laundry. Let us know how you like the Cannon once you get it, enjoy bro.
