Nicotine in Cigarette has several properties that are associated with it that may cause taste suppression:

The bitter taste of nicotine may override other tastes.

Nicotine has an irritant sensation that may inhibit the taste response. This is similar to the way that capsaicin works. This is the chemical involved with making chili peppers burn and thereby reduces some of the taste sensation.

It is thought that nicotine is able to enter the brain and thereby activate areas that are involved in feeding. Different feeding centers now interact with brain areas that are directly involved with taste. When these areas are activated by cigarette smoking, they may inhibit nerve cells that are responsible for taste.
