One method used to diagnose parosmia is the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). "Sniffin' Sticks" are another diagnostic method. [11] These techniques can help deduce whether a specific case of parosmia can be attributed to just one stimulating odor or if there is a group of odors that will elicit the displaced smell.
Diagnosing dysosmia precisely can be difficult due to the variety of causes and symptoms. Often, patients may be unsure whether or not they are having issues with smell or taste specifically. It is important to identify whether the distortion applies to an inhaled odorant or if an odor exists without the stimulus.
Withdrawal is the body’s reaction to not having the nicotine it had become accustomed to.

The symptoms of nicotine withdrawal usually appear 2–3 hours after last intake of nicotine and peak in 2–3 days. [1]
This occurs in 5–20% of patients experiencing detoxification and one third of untreated cases, [14] [13] which is characterized by hallucinations that are indistinguishable from reality, severe confusion, seizures, high blood pressure, and fever that can persist anywhere from 4 to 12 days.
There also seems to be less people losing their sense of taste and smell when they get COVID, Dr. Russo says. Unfortunately, severe cases of COVID-19 still happen, Dr. Russo says.
Phantosmia (phantom smell), also called an olfactory hallucination or a phantom odor, [1] is smelling an odor that is not actually there. This hallucination is intrinsically suspicious as the formal evaluation and detection of relatively low levels of odour particles is itself a very tricky task in air epistemology.
Anosmia, also known as smell blindness, is the loss of the ability to detect one or more smells. [1] [2] Anosmia may be temporary or permanent. [3]It differs from hyposmia, which is a decreased sensitivity to some or all smells.
