I smell smoke all the time

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am happy for you, but I can't use your suggestion, since I am allergic with aromatics. I had almost the same experience with orange jelly. I was making a little cup of jelly and I found that my smoke smell disappeared. Or the Wicks nasal stick that I was using for my nasal congestion (it was because of smoke smell, like I was living in the ash tray) anyways, for me, they work for an immediate moment, not more.

If you can smell a burning rubber kinda smell it may be a brain tumour

I have been going crazy with this smell. I always smell cigarette smoke or it smells like cigarette ashes. Last October I had a pituitary tumor removed and it was after that the smell started. What can get rid of this. I can't stand it.

I have been having the same problem. I have been to the doctors and had a CT Scan for my sinuses but nothing came out of it. I am really struggling to breathe at the moment with it as I hate the smell. Can someone please help to advise what I can do? It's affecting me quite a bit

What did ENT say?

I just had this same problem and found a way to get rid of it. My symptoms began early last week on Monday and persisted until this morning.

Monday - on my way to work, it seemed like my car smelled like cigarette smoke. Then at my desk, same thing. The whole day, everywhere I went, I smelled smoke. After getting home and showering, I though the smell would go away. However, I smelled cigarette smoke so strongly when I was trying to sleep that it kept me awake.

This scenario repeated every day this week. I specifically noticed the smell would go away in the shower and that the smell was strongest when I was laying down or air was blowing directly toward my face. Every air source made the smell stronger.

After looking online and reading multiple blog posts, articles, questions/answers posted online - I determined that it could be a sinus issue. Finally, after losing sleep all week and not being able to concentrate at work - I decided to attempt home remedy. I went to the pharmacy and purchased a decongestant spray, a netti pot, and ibuprofen.

I used the decongestant spray as soon as I got home and my sinuses felt better than they had all week. I didn't really notice how congested/inflamed my sinuses were until I tried the spray. The smell was still present and just as strong as before, but I was able to inhale and exhale through my nose better.

After an hour, I used the netti pot at half concentration in both nostrils. This was my first time using the netti pot and it wasn't very comfortable at first. It's the feeling you get when you're at the beach and ocean water rushes up your nose suddenly. However, it cleared my sinuses out and I felt an immense relief. There were no visible signs of blockage or anything specifically being cleared out of my nose, but I could tell my sinuses had been cleaned out. To my disdain, the smell was still present when I was trying to go to sleep.

When I woke up this morning, my sinuses felt better than they have in months. I can breathe in and out deeply and the smell is gone. I've been dreading and expecting that the smell would return at some point today, but I haven't had even a slight scent of the smell.

This may not be the remedy for everyone, but it cost me around $30 and some minor discomfort during the netti pot cleanse. There are ample warnings on both the nasal spray and netti pot. Read both products carefully and completely.

Hope this helps someone out there find relief.

My also same problem from this last week what's the solution plz

Thank you I will try to use this medicine

I had this smell for few years now. Here are some observations. If I eat some sweets, or bread, carbs, rice, potatoes more than I should, the burnt smell starts. I dont know if it gots something to do the carbs, sugar that is consumed gets processed in the body.. If I start eating more veges and almost avoid starchy, sugary food, I don't have the smell.. but try and do some observation on what you eat. It turned out that I have glucose intolerance. so maybe when the food intake is being processed. I know for a fact that carbs, sweets are like fuel that energize our body but after a while the process of digesting these food could be releasing that burnt thing that we are smelling.

I also have the same problem I smell a burning smell that is like wires burning and now it is in my taste buds as well so every thing I eat taste bad It is driving me crazy as some times I feel like I am also suffocating even though I am not.all I want is this to stop not a good way to lose weight.

I have an acid reflux in the larynx doctor told me to avoid coffee otherwise I’m gonna cough constantly. But I love coffee so I take it moderately. Today the whole day I choose to take 2x cups of coffee ( the strong one), a couple of hours after and up until tonight I’m smelling smoke. I haven’t taken coffee that much for the last two days so I notice the difference plus I monitor the time I’m smelling smoke which apparently didn’t smell for the last two day too.

I smell smoke whenever I’m relaxed watching tv or just lying in bed or sitting on the couch.

It’s the amount of coffee we take thus I smell smoke... I guess. Just my two cents of thoughts hope this helps.

I have been smelling smoke off and on for the past 4 years. I never had this issue until I moved from California to Virginia. I was raised in California and not used to snow and humidity. Went to doctor and got tested and wasn't allergic to anything. No nasal polyps. Diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis. I started with Flonase and had some relief. I started writing down when I would smell the smoke and what the weather was doing that day. What I figured out is when there is high humidity and the barometric pressure is dropping-I smell smoke. I can be watching tv and suddenly I smell smoke. I will tell my husband "I smell smoke check the weather forecast" Sure enough rain is on the way and the pressure is dropping. My worst days are when it is high humidity, grey ugly skies and a storm is on the way. I hope this helps someone. When the smoke is bad and I feel the congestion I use the Neti pot and take a mild decongestant. Antihistamines will not help me. Good luck to everyone because I know when you tell people you smell smoke they think you are crazy.

i have the same thing going on with me now I cant get the smell away its driving me nuts i8 been using vix to help me breathe

I had a CT scan and it was normal, I'm also irritated because the the ENT specialist told me that he has never heard of this before so you know where that left me, nowhere. TEE

I get this a lot too. It’s normally bad for a few days at a time and then fades but it’s started to happen more. I’m not allergic to anything but do suffer from colds a lot so I’m assuming it has something to do with that or a lot of my friends have asthma and say it’s like that when they need to use an inhaler.
