Hi Shaun I reckon about 2/3 weeks and you will find a big diference you will taste every thing and do what I did and that was eat for england and put on 7 LB so quickly.

there are a lot of things that will improve over the next few months and you will feel soooo good so enjoy and dont give up xx

Hi Shaun

I'm at 4.5 months quit and to be honest my food tastes pretty much the same as it has for years. My sense of smell is the same too. Both senses are pretty good and I feel I'm lucky in that smoking never ruined either that much.

I never inhaled that deeply or for long and maybe it's paid off

Some posts have shown peoples senses if they are going to improve, can vary and can begin to be noticed from just a few days or can take up to 3 months or so to kick in.

A lot of folk get a lot of clearing from the lungs..... debris etc being got rid of. I've had non of that either. Just keep quitt and see what happens over time.

All the best

hi im at 18 days now i think im losing where i am there lol, must be good sign lol, even almost forgot to change my patch this am lol, but anyway off track sorry, taste buds yes lol, i posted something yest about my taste buds, i had a curry on friday fine was lovely maybe bit of the hot side but managable lol didn't have too much on friday so i really fancied the left overs for saturday my god lol it was burning.......... so my taste buds started coming back to life lets say in the beggining of week 2 going into week 3. so drink loads of ice cold water, read loads and keep coming on here..... oh if you do eat curry or kebabs be very wary with the chillies lolololol

I havent found any change in taste yet either and Ive been smoke free for 7 days today. Maybe we need to give it more time or maybe we had such as good sense of taste and smell anyway the smoking didn't affect it noticeably.
