Does Liking Smell Of Chalk And Dirty Roads Means Person Has Pica?

I love the way dust from dirt roads smell and the way that blackboard chalk smells, the way it crushes between my fingers, and the way the dust from both feels on my hands. I ve never had a desire to consume these things just smell and feel them. Would that he considered a pica?
