| Described by its fans as wondrous, and by its detractors as disgusting, the smell has led to its consumption being banned on public transport and in hotels. |
Does 'the smell has led to its consumption being banned' mean that 'the smell has led its consumption to be banned'?
Thanks. |

Yes, but in my opinion it would sound more natural to use the word "caused" in your version:
"...the smell has caused its consumption to be banned."
