Flavor Sensitivity » Opening

I've quit smoking some time ago now, and while I realized my sense of taste would become more acute, I did not expect some of the changes I've experienced. 

Some flavors I'm accustomed to now overpower me; Cilantro is almost unbearably strong in most restaraunts, and I've had to cut down on the spicy peppers that I used to really love.

I've also wondered if anyone else has wondered about changes in taste concerning temperatures.  Many if not most foods to me are now better cold than hot.  Particularly anything with cheese.  quiche and fritattas, some meats, and a few miscellanious things now to me have a much different and preferable flavor when chilled after preparation, rather than served hot...

If anyone else would care to discuss this I would appreciate it.
