A member asked:
Why has food stopped tasting of anything six weeks after quitting smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because smoking: Smoking effects the taste buds and the food taste differently, and than when you quit the taste buds are returning to normal and for a while your taste of food may be lost or different do not start smoking again and give some time for food to taste better if it persists see your doctor or ENT speciaist.
