Many thanks for sharing the information, I thought it had something to do with my sinuses. This started when I stopped smoking, I stopped a year ago & since then I noticed my health changing for the worse & to be honest I feel like starting again to see if it changes anything...
Thanks, John

Millions of people around the world suffer from this.
The two main reasons are sinus infection/sinusitis  ( which can prevent your nose from smelling things the right way ),
and phantom smells which they believe come from past recurrent sinus problems.

When I go outside in the winter, the fresh air smells like melting crayons.
Cigarette smoke smells like dust to me.

I've had sinus issues my entire life.
See your doctor if this becomes unbearable or you start to suffer from facial pain.
