“though” at the end of a sentence as an adverb We can put “though” at the end of a sentence as an adverb in a less formal conversation, if I'm correct. But it seems some people don't like the usage probably out of the grammatical reason. I just wonder, then, there is any alternative word, which I can put at the end of a sentence, and which plays the same role as follows. It tastes great, smells awful though. Thanks in advance.

You have no need to be confused. There is nothing at all wrong with putting 'though' at the end of a sentence. 'Though' is widely used in this way, and the construction is entirely correct. I can't understand why you say that 'some people don't like the usage'. It's fine in any spoken sentence, and also in informal written sentences. The alternative word that can go at the end of the sentence with the same meaning is 'however'. This is possible, but slightly awkward-sounding in speech. 'Though' is much more natural. I would carry on using it, if I were you.

I wouldn't consider putting 'though' at the end as less formal. You could say: "It tastes great, but it smells awful"
