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.

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

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

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.
