I'm amazed at my MIL. She had double pneumonia and a collapsed lung, and still went back to smoking. A few years after that, she had a triple bypass. She quit smoking for a while, but went back again. Now they told her that she has a 60% occluded carotid artery, but she's still puffing away.

Geoff, I'm so very proud of you. TIS, I never noticed much of a difference in taste or smell either. However, I did notice two things - I slept better and longer, because I didn't wake up and have the urge after a while. The other is that I noticed that tightness in my chest first thing in the morning disappeared pretty quickly.
