Your sense of smell...

    With the rainy weather recently I've been thinking about how nice it'd be to have my full sense of smell back... then I got thinking about how impaired my sense of smell actually is.
    From what I remember being able to smell before I started smoking, and during the times I've quit, I'd rate my sense of smell at about 2 or 3 out of 5.
    I'm curious to know what you all reckon about your own... or do you even care?

    I still smell pretty well. I think. It'd be nice to be able to switch off the effects of smoking for a moment to see how wrong I am :/

    When I quit for a week one time (wow! I know! :rolleyes:) and the things I could smell by gumbo, I'd never have imagined.
    I think it all happens so slowly... such a gradual loss that I was quite surprised when it started to come back... going outside and being able to smell the trees... and old dried puddles of piss around the city center... things that I'd have missed before.
    Never really noticed the smell thing before I was off them for a while.
