Today I ate spicy garlic eggplant and rice for lunch. Considering spicy and garlic are in the title, the dish was pretty bland. Did not help that all I had to accompany it was white rice and water. I'll probably finish off the meal with a smooth minty Nat Sherman. 
Lately I've been worried that my average of 3-4 cigs a day is killing my taste buds. Whenever a companion at dinner exclaims how salty something is, I nod in agreement as to not draw attention to my dull buds. Further proof that my tasting senses are slacking is that when I consume other spicy asian dishes that register at about a 4 on the spicy and a 5 on the salty scale, at a reasonable hour (8-9pm ish) followed by several glasses of water, I wake up with a botox face; my features frozen in place by the severe swelling of eye lids and cheeks.
Does the saying that if you quit smoking before the age of 26 (or 30 according to some) you gain 95% of your lung capacity back, hold true for tastebuds?
On a more fashionable note, I will be visiting the brand spanking new 3.1 phillip lim store today! for work!

According to Yahoo Answers, no they don't.
However, it does seem possible that the few survivors might become more sensitive if you stopped blanketing them with smoke all the time.
Nat Shermans are not an acceptable "condiment", piggy.
