How do i get rid of the horrible taste in my mouth left from quitting smoking a month ago? it seems this is not an unusual symptom of quitting smoking

It will fade: The horrible taste is a good sign. It means that the taste buds that smoking had weakened are regenerating. Try some gum or breath spray in the meantime, and congratulations on quitting!
