If someone quit smoking 2 years ago, is it possible that cigarette smoke is still detected in the breath?
A woman that I'm seeing told me that she quit smoking 2 years ago. Yet, when we kiss, I still detect cigarette smoke. Is this possible? I have never smoked myself.

answered Jan 02, 2010 at 11:45AMThis may be a case of conditioning. You may have learnt ,over time, to associate kissing that particular woman with cigarette smoke. Are you detecting the cigarette smoke by smell, taste or touch?
A gum disease such as gingivitis may be occurring and this odor/taste is what is occurring. Cigarette smoking in the past may have caused or aggravated a gum disease.
An oral hygienist or dentist may be beneficial.
