One of the most immediate and delightful rewards of quitting smoking is the rapid return of your senses of taste and smell. Smoking damages the nerve endings in your nose and mouth, dulling your perception of the world around you. The good news is, this damage is temporary, and the healing process begins almost as soon as you put out that final cigarette. 

Within just 48 hours of quitting, your taste buds and olfactory nerves start to repair themselves, and you will begin to notice a significant improvement in your ability to taste and smell. Foods that once tasted bland suddenly become vibrant, and forgotten aromas re-enter your life. 

 
This festive season, imagine experiencing Christmas dinner with a brand-new palate. You can truly savour the rich, complex flavours of a roast, the subtle spices in mulled wine, or the delicate sweetness of a Christmas pudding, rather than a lingering taste of stale smoke.
