Can a fart be dissipated or diminished if it is quickly sniffed up and exhaled by the culprit?

When I was a child and would fart I believed that I could eliminate the smell from reaching others nearby if I quickly "sniffed" it up and exhaled it as nonchalantly as possible. I realize this is ridiculous. However, I am looking for serious answers to help with a conversation I've recently had about the subject.
