Does Smoking Vaporizer Affect Taste Buds?
I started smoking a vaporizer 7 months ago (gave up tobacco). Since then my taste buds have got worse day by day. Food doesnt taste the same at all. My tongue is sore intermittently. I have tried quitting smoking smoking tobacco in the past but nothing has helped, the vaporizer was like a godsend to me and my health is better now in so many ways. Could it be the liquids i m vaping that are affecting my taste buds?

Hello,
Yes definitely smoking affects minor salivary glands, means it causes inflammation of the openings of minor salivary glands that is why your taste is getting affected.
I think you should quit smoking, after that only you will feel better.
Thank you
