Is there a chance of regaining smell and taste after abusing cocaine?
Once the nasal mucosa has been damaged by cocaine, it is unlikely to return. There may be a small amount of improvement, but the vast majority of your sense of smell will stay lost. Cocaine doesn't affect taste directly, in that it doesn't affect the tongue very much, but since between 80-90% of our sense of taste is really due to our sense of smell, the perception of taste is also often reduced. And again, since the nasal mucosa is unlikely to grow back to any appreciable degree, the sense of taste is also reduced greatly, and likely to remain damaged.

How do you get your taste back if you have a cold?
Technically, we only "taste" sweet, sour, salt and bitter. The tongue can only sense those 4 tastes. The rest of what we often call "taste buds" is actually the smell of food. If you have a sinus infection you can often lose the sense of smell. As soon as your cold passes, you are decongested and you start feeling better, your sense of taste should come right back! If you can't taste anything at all, even after you are well, You may need some medical assistance in recovering your sense of smell. Unfortunately there are some who lose their sense of smell and never get it back. Only a doctor can assist you on this one.

What is the interaction between taste and smell?
How are smell and taste related? The answer is simple: When we taste, we use our sense of smell. Have you ever noticed why when you have a cold, or you've plugged your nose, you can't taste the food in your mouth? This is because we assume automatically that what we are smelling is going to taste that way. So it does. Most of the time. When you taste, you are using your sense of smell to kind of tell you what it is that your eating. If you were to close your eyes and hold your nose and then taste apples and a potato, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. At all. Except maybe the texture. ~Thanks, WorldBook 2001 Edition.

How is taste and smell closely linked?
Taste and smell are closely linked because they both help us perceive flavors. When we eat food, aromas are released that travel to the back of our nasal cavity, where they contribute to our perception of taste. This is why our sense of taste is diminished when our sense of smell is compromised.

Do cobras have a good sense of smell?
Sorta no and kinda yes They use there tongue to smell Snakes do not smell with their tongue, nor do they taste the air. Snakes have no sense of taste. They can use their nostrils to smell (the same olfactory sense we have), as well as vomeronasal or Jacobson's organs located at the roof of their mouth. Scent molecules are collected on each fork of the tongue (by the way, their forked tongue lets them know where the thing they are smelling is-left or right). The tongue is brought back into the mouth, and is brushed up against the vomeronasal organ, where the information is sent to the brain. The vomeronasal organ can be thought of as a more sophisticated sense of smell. It is found in some humans and apes, as well as horses and an array of other animals.
What can you do to get your taste buds and smell back?
We generally don't realize this, but about 60% of "taste" is actually "smell". If you have had sinus infections or blockages, you can have a severely decreased ability to taste things - because you can't SMELL them. You can talk to your doctor about sinus problems, but one simple alternative is sinus lavage, or "rinsing". There are a number of "nasal pumps" that pump salt water up one nostril and allow it to drain through the other nostril. (This requires a rather strange posture, head-down in the sink to allow the water to wash through.) Or you can look at "neti pots" for sinus drainage. (See attached link.)
