Answer 1

The flu affects your taste. Also, your body may have gotten around to telling you stop using those awful things. Try giving them up, this wuold be the perfect time.

Answer 2

Have you noticed anything else tasting or smelling funny? It's true the flu will affect these senses.

Try menthol and maybe switch to a lighter cigarette while you're sick . They're easier on the throat.

Answer 3

There is something burning...your cigarette! j/k anytime something affects your sinuses it's going to affect your taste and smell senses. And nothing does that like having the flu, a cold, or anything where mucus starts to form excessively.

Answer 4

I am a smoker that often loses the urge to when I am ill.

I would say that is completely normaly. It is always good to check with a doctor though.

If your cigarettes smell and taste funny, sounds like you have a good opportunity to quit.

Answer 5

well they smell funny because they are cigarettes (warning this is why u don't smoke them though ur nose)
and they taste funny because they are not for eating
and the burnin is probally from when you lit them or something

Answer 6

Cigarettes stink.

Answer 7

that's bcoz of your flu..thats what happened wen u got colds and other cold-related illness

Answer 8

your taste and smell buds are off when you are sick =this would be a great time to stop smoking

Answer 9

Well . . . they ARE something burning.
