  • It's kind of rude to tell some one they have bad breath. Do what I do and keep a bucket of mints in the car to offer people. See, now you're being polite about it.

    • That's something you can do with someone who is just an acquaintance. IF its a good friend and you really care about them, you'll be doing them a favour by telling them about their breath issue. It could be due to a health related issue that they are not aware of. Like a few people said earlier it could be something like diabetes. Or it could be a dental problem that is going unnoticed. Telling them is the right thing to do. It will also save them the embarrassment of going around with bad breath all the time.

    • But isn't a mint just a band aid? The underlying problem isn't being addressed. Bad breath keeps people down because it can prevent them from being socially and sexually active.
