Fussy,
Your body is detoxing itself and this may be the case. Smoking also has a habit of masking problems, that become more apparent when you quit.
Your diet can also be a factor. Your food intake and type of food can lead to some bad breath. Take the time to check with your doctor and come up with a plan that is right for you :)

Hi fussy,
I started a post a while back. Believe me, you're not alone in this. Check out what people said on the post "smells, good or bad.
Enjoy you're new found senses.

Hello everyone,
Ok i have an issue here, i stopped smoking ages ago now and i'm doing really well however, my breath has begun to smell worse than when i smoked.
I thought it was supposed to smell better than when i smoked. Could it be, that my breath has always stunk? That i have never noticed it before?
Gone to the dentist today to get a hygene person on the job - maybe its just that they need a damb good cleaning. Has anyone else noticed this when they stop smoking.
In fact - i can also smell the cats a lot more and smells generally. So, i'm constantly cleaning up at the moment in an obsession with bad smells.
O i hope you don't all think i;m a minger who lives in a messy house with gross teeth now - that is definately not the case!
Apart from this minor strangeness of smells and obsession with smells - i'm feeling really good about not smoking.
