Suddenly cigarettes taste weird

Yes, yes I know. Smoking = bad. I've been trying to quit for a while now. But here lately they have been tasting off, and really turning me off by not wanting to smoke them. It takes me about 3-4 days to smoke one pack versus 1-2 days.

This has been going on for about 2-3 weeks.

I've heard that taste buds can change and cause them to taste off/nasty in early pregnancy, but as far as I'm aware I'm not pregnant, just got off my period yesterday.

Also, I've heard that the new "FSC" cigarettes (fire safety something) are causing them to taste differently as well.

I've had a rough start for 2016 already and I'm about 85% sure I'll be done smoking by December.
