First: First, stop smoking. It can cause bad breath, and, in addition, kill you. Second, ask your Physician to examine your tonsils.

See MD: Although difficult, attempt to quit smoking for the new year with the help of your MD. Smoking orally, leads to increase periodontal disease, possibly oral cancer and known medical complications, good luck.

Tonsil Stones: No smoking, gargling with mouth wash, tongue-scraping and frequent tooth brushing will help prevent bad breath and the formation of tonsil stones. If concerned, see your GP for evaluation. Talking with your doctor about your physical and emotional concerns can help you find the best way for you to quit. Good luck!
