Abstract

The objective of the research was to investigate the changes in sensory mechanisms in the eating pattern and body of adult ex-smokers, and their perception of the influence of these aspects on quality of life. The study is qualitative and quantitative, with cross-sectional, observational character, conducted from february to march 2015. It evaluated 33 people former smokers. The average age of participants was 52.76 years, 51.5% female. The termination process led to tangible changes, whose average weight gain was 11,67Kg; and sensory changes, which indicated that 78.8% of respondents had a positive change in taste, and 69.7% had positive change in smell. As for the change in food preference, 45.45% of the participants reported eating more fruits and vegetables after you stop smoking. All survey participants realized an improvement in quality of life within two months to a year. This research, through the recorded results, reinforces similar studies in order to establish the thesis that improvements to healthare numerous for those who quits smoking.
