My sense of smell didn't come back to a level of sensitivity that I'm

extent I could get offended, but it hasn't yet.

But it DID return, no?

For me that was the most spectacular effect of quitting smoking.
It was enormous. It was if a blindfold had been removed from
my tastebuds and olfactory apparatus.

I had been told it would happen but not the extent to which it did.

My quit happened in a city known for its good food--New Orleans.

And I took full advantage of that.

Wow! I had a hard time believing food could taste so much better.

Smokers claim their senses of taste and smell are not compromised
but when they quit they find out otherwise.

I wonder if it was the smoke or the nicotine which caused
that decrease in sensitivity.

Did anyone here who used NRT notice those senses returning after
the smoke stopped or did it happen after you stopped the NRT?
