not directly in any way, but what your brain takes as taste is in fact a combination of taste and smell. You can't really say that your brain just smelt something or just tasted something. So in effect, a fair bit. A friend of mine recently lost his sense of smell,from a head injury(assaulted at a nightclub)and it is total and permanent.His taste buds still work, but he says that eating is nowhere near as enjoyable as it was,and that fruit is now unpleasant.Taste and smell are part of the same system, the olfactory.
