Has anyone noticed that after you use an ecig for awhile, you start smelling analogs more potently? I wonder if the tar clogs up our nose hairs. I remember reading something about how cigarette smoke kills our sense of smell. When i smoked, I never really "smelled" cigarettes. Now that I'm on 100% vapor, I smell them all the time.
Smoking impairs the ability to identify odors and diminishes the sense of taste and smell. Unless we have other issues it should improve with time after quitting smoking. I took Zinc tabs to help the process along and promote the growth/ resurgence of nerve cells.
Olfactory (smell nerve) cells are stimulated by the odors around us—the fragrance from a rose, the smell of bread baking. These nerve cells are found in a tiny patch of tissue high up in the nose, and they connect directly to the brain.
Gustatory (taste nerve) cells are clustered in the taste buds of the mouth and throat. They react to food or drink mixed with saliva. Many of the small bumps that can be seen on the tongue contain taste buds. These surface cells send taste information to nearby nerve fibers, which send messages to the brain.
Just went to the Dentist yesterday and Hygienist and Dentist commented on how bright and white my teeth were looking. Dentist also said my gums have recovered 100% from the ravages/ damage of smoking. When I was smoking he was considering multiple gum operations but was concerned because the smoking would've immediately negated any positives form the operations.
