We Quit Cigarettes

So generally speaking, what is the curve on getting my sense of smell back All the way?

A week...I think is when I noticed.

I've noticed zero difference in taste.
Huge difference in smell.

Take a shower then!

"Najika" is the name of a character in a manga series that I read a while ago, so, yes, I would say that it's a Japanese name. If memory serves, it has the kanji character for rainbow in it....
My first batch of chickens were all named after manga characters... Najika, Komugi, Ran, Miki, Su, Yotsuba... meanwhile, my second batch was mostly food. The guineas have Pokemon names, except for Spook.

Yes! Atta girl, Webby, great going!

Thank you! Still can't believe it's been that long! This thread has helped me with everyday stuff. What would I have done if I had not come across this threadI love you all. Really. ... If I was a wealthy person, I would leave it all to ya'l

I sure haven't found men to be bad at all. I can say that most of the men I'm around appear a far cry smarter than most women I'm around. Then again, I often have trouble relating to women. Country girls always get a pass. We're a different sort.
I'll bet I wouldn't have liked girly Kiki as much as I LOVE non girly Kiki.

Hey I'm the same way. I've always had guys as my best friends. Don't know why, but , I am a true country girl. Maybe that's why

To my limited knowledge; from what I'd read up on until about 2013-ish sense of smell and taste "might" return to pre smoking level but, nothing conclusive had been proven at that time. What I do recall was 'most folks saw 50-75+% return' thru 3-6 month time window..... I don't recall details on what was the percentages for6 month onwards.

Realize this was stuff I'd last dealt with up to 2013-ish. Sooo... YMMV.

Side note. Cleaning of your homes duct work and upgrading your house air filter will also help a lot.

For my admitted ignorance in home air filters.... We'd been using filtrite 1100 4" thick filters for several years. They were actually almost worthless.... I dicovered the Merv scale.... Those 1100's were approx a Merv 6-8? Well, I've found out i'm alergic to dust mites so --- a googling-I-will-go....
Found several brands on Amazon that are Merv 11, 12, 13.... Tried them and found a Merv 14 or 15 and started them about 3 months ago. My word, the reduction of dust on stuff is very noticeable to me.


So that tangent is done for now.

A week is typical for when one "starts to notice" the return of smells but, full return..... Not so fast... Sorry to rain on the parade....
