Possibly HALITOSIS: most of the time someone ; like- girlfriend, boyfriend, co-worker, mom, etc will tell you "the truth about your breath" or they will offer you chewing gum... Then you probably have a condition called Halitosis or this condition is also known as Bad Breath. if after you chew gum for 10 minutes - nobody is complainingon your breath-you are lucky! because your Halitosis can be eliminated 100%!
