That doesn't really make sense. Whatever are a person's current indicators on the symptoms you just listed, if they were to worsen during this pandemic, people would probably consider going to the hospital.
Apart from perhaps coughing, smokers don't "regularly deal" with any of that. Smokers don't have a "sudden loss of sense of smell".
- BugsJustFindMe 6y ago> Smokers don't have a "sudden loss of sense of smell". Right. They have a _persistent_ loss of sense of smell. Regaining sense of smell is one of the major changes that ex-smokers notice after quitting. This is very widely known. > Apart from perhaps coughing, smokers don't "regularly deal" with any of that. Google "smoker sense of smell" and "smoker sense of taste" and "smoker shortness of breath".
- watwut 6y agoI never heard about that and definitely did not noticed anything like that when I stopped smoking.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoHow long and heavy you smoked probably matters, and if you aren't expecting it you may not notice your sense of smell and taste slowly getting sharper over a few months. Personally, quitting smoking led me to eat far less fast food, as I noticed how terrible much of it tasted.
- watwut 6y agoParent claimed this: Regaining sense of smell is one of the major changes that ex-smokers notice after quitting. Slow change over course of moths that you don't notice unless you know about it is hardly that.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoMajor changes that happen gradually are incredibly hard to notice if you aren't expecting them, and even if you did notice you might just think it's because you got over a cold or spring is here or similar.
- watwut 6y ago"ajor changes that ex-smokers notice after quitting" is something completely different then "Major changes [...] incredibly hard to notice". If it is hard to notice, then it can't be major thing ex-smokers notice.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoOr many ex-smokers were expecting them so did notice the change. I can't tell if you just think the poster should have qualified that not every smoker notices it or if you think it doesn't exist because you didn't notice it.
- watwut 6y agoNo I think the parent is making up "plenty smokers" and "commonly known" to describe something that exists only in minority of cases.
- boomboomsubban 6y ago"Health benefits of quitting smoking...Within 48 hours, nerve endings and sense of smell and taste both start recovering." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_cessation#Health_benefits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_cessation#Health_benef... Think about how the smell longer on your clothes. That smell lingering in your mouth is going to mess with your smell and taste. And that's ignoring the damage inhaling burning air does to your mouth.
