Hi, @A MyCOPDTeam Member -

COPD.net published an article about a year and a half ago on this topic:

https://copd.net/living/smell-taste

Reading it, though, there are so many contributing factors that it’s hard to be definitive as to a straight line between cause and effect.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
