Tony,
I never had that experience myself but what a cool benefit! I did start liking things that I hadn't liked in years - like the color pink. I started to kind of 'rediscover' things about myself that had been laying unused under years of smoke and tar.
Just another reason to stay quit!
All the best

Tonyyy31,
Not unlikely. Smoking does seem to greatly affect your senses and many quitters have reported a heightened acuity post-quit. Music also stimulates the dopamine receptors (dopamine is responsible for feelings of pleasure)in your brain. Could be you never experienced the full effect as nicotine was always busy stimulating those same receptors.

I was driving home today from work, and put on the radio like I always do. Then, I got this weird feeling that the music actually sounds better since I haven�t smoked. Has anyone else experienced this? or has my mind joined this no smoking band wagon so strongly that it�s starting to send me made up positive stimuli.
