Is it a sign of a tumor to falsely smell smoke all the time?

i smell smoke and no one is smoking. I quit 8 years ago. I am taking Lunesta and that causes me to have amnesiac episode. I eat in the middle of the night and don't remember until I wake in the AM and see the remnants. I also went for a walk in the wee hours of the morning and woke up naked in my livingroom. (
Don't know what I did or how long i was gone) so if you are taking ambien or lunesta that could be doing things. I may be sleeping right now and not even know it.

The tumor is really there and making you think there is smoke in the air. Things perceived as real are real in their consequences.

well that depends. i know this guy who once lit some brocoli on fire and the smoke caused a giant tumor to form in his brain. Now he has a general hideous apperance and no sense of humor

No. this means you have just given up smoking and are having a nicotine fit.

It can be, and there are hallucinations of smell, just as there are visual and auditory hallucinations. There are even hallucinatory sensations of touch ---often termed "formications" (crawling ants). Tumors in certain areas of the brain can cause sensations related to the function of the brain at that point. One could even have a psychiatric manifestation of a tumor, which would be termed physical, or organic. In other words, it is possible to have an organic psychosis.

It can be. Only testing can truly confirm tumor findings. However, if you are experiencing phantasmal smells of burning wood, paper, toast or lint - try some allergy medications. I am a paramedic and here is my experience.....FOR 3 YEARS. After extensive MRI's, CAT Scans, sinus surgeries, X-Rays....It turns out to be ALLERGIES! I smelled smoke for 3 years. At first it wasn't odd since I am a fireman. So I discounted it. Up until I transferred to a specialty station that no longer handles structure fires. Maybe the smell was stuck in my turnout gear? Nope, Got new gear issued to me and there it was again. So off to specialists I go. In short, an over the counter allergy medication known as fexofenadine (ALLEGRA) without the pseudoephidrine, solved everything! I just so happened to borrow some from my engineer when I forgot my traditional/antihistamine medication of choice (Claritin & Zyrtec). I tried all other allergy meds in the past and over looked the Allegra stuff due to the cost and the ignorance that "all allergy and sinus meds are the same". Well it took a couple of doses for me to realize that I no longer smelled the smoke. After my second dose, I could almost time it to when the smoke smell would start to come back. In the beginning, I smelled a campfire-like smoke along with the burning eyes. After the fexofenadine, the smoke smell morphed to cigarette-like smell then ultimately to paper or lint-like burning smell. After 6 days of taking the allergy meds, the smell of burning has gone away. I can still sense when the medication is wearing down, when I start to smell a hint of smell like a hot dry summer day. DRINK A BUNCH OF WATER on this stuff. Not saying that this is the cure, since I don't dare discontinue taking the allegra yet. However, it has given me back my sanity. The guys at work razzed me about it for years saying it was my brain cells spontaneously combusting! I hope this info helps someone. I would try each med until I found the one that worked. I imagine that each of us have a different reaction to the various OTC allergy meds, name brand to generic. Give it a shot! I CAN FINALLY SMELL THE ROSES!!!
