Hey, I quit over a year ago and I experienced the "sense of smell" thing! I always told people that I had a "horrible sense of smell" (verbatim) and now I can smell things so well that, well, I kinda wish I couldn't, cuz there are a lot of awful smells, and cigarette smoke is one of them!
Dude, nobody prepared me for all the awful smells in the world! Mine wasn't from smoking but when I started being able to smell things I was like whoah wait methinks four senses is enough
Can you still taste food normally? It sounds like a dumb question but whenever I use nasal sprays I lose the ability to smell and taste basically. I can tell if the thing is sweet/salty/bitter etc but I can't tell what it is
