Waft into, gust
Hi,
"I usually don't run in the city because I don't want to have exhaust fumes gusting in my face."
"A car drove past me and the smell of smoke wafted in or into my face."
Do these sentences make sense? Is it better to use 'in' or 'into' in the second sentence?
Thank you.

- Maybe it's just me, but the smell of smoke is not the smell of car exhaust unless the car is burning oil, in which case it would be better to include that information if you must use "smoke": "the smell of oil smoke", maybe.
