Smoking habits have many adverse effects on the human body, such as decreasing of taste sensitivity. Cigarettes make the taste buds contaminated by chemical compounds contained in cigarettes, thus decrease the ability of the gustatory system. Cigarettes can also cause systemic abnormalities, one of which is diabetes mellitus because by decreasing the sensitivity of the gustatory system, smokers will tend to consume more sugar. This study was aimed to determine the sweet taste threshold on smoking women in the neighbourhood of the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran in Bandung and Jatinangor.

The mean value of sweet threshold of smoking women who consumed 10 cigarettes every day for 2-4 years and more than 4 years were 0.041 M and 0.043 M respectively. The mean value of sweet threshold of smoking women who consumed 20 cigarettes every day for 2-4 years and more than 4 years were 0.030 M and 0.037 M respectively.
