    may be we can transmitt them using normal pipes as smell is a form of gas right!!!!😉

    but we must have such tubes or other transmission media such that they wont be any losses while transmission

    No need of such expedients. Smell detection (artificial nose) technology already exists as does smell synthsizer as a computer peripheral.
    Just make a smell detector peripheral and transmit the data digitally and let the synthesizer peripheral recreate the smell at the receiving end.
    Downside: hackers may raise a stink throughout the internet.

    but what if we need to transmit such a sort of smell thats new,i.e not known to us previously!

    Most smells are a mixture of a few known molecules, all of which are part of the synthesizer. The artificial nose just analyses the smell and gives the recipe. The synthesizer mixes and delivers the 'scent'. Not fully perfect yet.

    I read about artificial nose in one magazine but never think about such synthesizer. I think its difficult to design because of various molecules used.

    yes u are right the molecules may make the transmission difficult as different noises attenuate the signal to be transmitted but, we apply modulation,encoding,amplifying , filtering techniques to separate the original signal from the noise so,I think we can use similar methods to obtain the original smell we want to transmit at the receiver end

    how far do the tubes transmit the smell?

    It's very interesting idea. I've seen a thread about "store light", now 'transmit smell'.
