Every cleaning products I used to use are gone

My sense of smell has gone completely wonky since I quit smoking. I've started smelling things that aren't there, like wood burning, or something spoiled, and sometimes perfumes or something sweet. I wonder if it has anything to do with my meds.
Yes, my sister does. Also shouldn't burn candles. I am very sensitive to cig. smoke or any kind of smoke.
