Just a curiosity. I'm taking metformin, and I've read about some people comparing the bad taste the medicament generates as side effect.

Being an ex-smoker I remember that when I was using the coffin nails my taste was totally screwed up.
Giving up the cigarettes got me back a good taste. But I rememeber that I never noticed that my taste was bad when I smoked.

Could be that smokers and ex smokers don't notice the bad taste effect of the metformin because their brain is programmed to cancel out the bad taste?
