4. Improved Sense of Smell & Taste
One of the benefits that you will start seeing right away is improving taste and smell. This is something happens within a week or two of quitting smoking. You were going to notice that food tastes extremely good all of a sudden. That’s because smoking actually can deaden your taste buds and other senses. Quitting smoking improves your sense of smell and taste, both of which are connected to how food tastes on your tongue.
This is a really amazing benefit, and one that many people do not even realize affects their life as much as it does until they have their sense of taste and smell back. Smoking robs you of so many things, but after you smoke for many months or years, you become used to the taste and smell of food that you are currently experiencing, and it gradually gets worse without you ever noticing. When it comes back all of a sudden, you will be surprised how great everything tastes and smells.
