Tobacco use leads to a common form of
halitosis generally referred to as "smoker's breath". If you haven't stopped
smoking for any of the obvious health issues, here's one more important reason to quit..
The odour from tobacco is due to two reasons:
Tar, nicotine and other noxious
substances
accumulate on the teeth, tongue, cheeks and other soft oral tissues.
Smoking dries the membranes of the mouth.
The lack of moisturizing saliva enhances the
growth of bacteria leading to bad breath.
