Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Does anyone know if smoking weed will mask BB? I know weed tends to dry the mouth, which may cause BB. But I recently met someone who likes to smoke weed & I was planning to smoke before he arrived at my house and with the smell of weed on me & my clothes; I wonder if he would be able to sme...

I was parked at my local park reading the newspaper; all four car windows are tightly rolled up. A stranger walked up to my window; I didn't let the window down or even "crack " it down a little bit. He asked did I have a "light" for his cigarette. I replied no, with the window u...

I live in a really small town where everyone is familiar with everyone. Everywhere I go I get smirks; even from ppl I don't know personally. It's like someone has posted a pic of me on the internet and stated I have Chronic BB. Even the surrounding towns where I live ppl are smirking who never met m...

It seems everywhere I go, I get a big sniff from everyone. Even if I am a distance away from them. Just the other day I was pumping gas and just got out of the shower before I went to get gas and the lady across the other pump gave me a big sniff. I am sure I don't have body odor. Why are they sniff...

I am enrolled at an online university. My advisor insists on me coming in to register for classes face to face. This can be done via phone or email. He just continue to say come sit down and we can take care of it. I am so nervous about going in because of my CHRONIC BB. But he refuses to register m...

Jimi, I didn't know you didn't eat meat. What exactly does your diet consist of? Has eliminating meat help "control" your BB at all. Thanks

You are right Halitosiux. Your post make valid points. I do know people you are unaware of their BB and they carry on normal daily activities.

Yea. I will admit I am very paranoid. I see your point.

Keeptrying09, Are you suggesting also some of us are overreacting about our BB reactions? LOL. I swear it seem I get reactions from a distance. And I don't have a body odor at all. I would admit I am very paranoid.It's funny because my best friend of 20 years just suggested I should go "get hel...

Has anyone had reactions from strangers looking at you assuming you have bad breath or am I paranoid? I was out of town with my sister, we were at this buffet style restaurant. I went to fix my plate and I was approaching this guy and he held his nose and turned his head until I passed him. I don't ...

I was watching The Learning Channel and imagining if I were paralyzed, super obese, or had half my body, or even a dwarf would it be as depressing as having BB. The people on those shows seem to have accepted their situation and seem to be content with it. I wonder if their reactions are as bad as h...

Thanks for all the comments & advice. They all are helpful. I agree with all of you. I also think it will help my confidence, I 'm going to do it. It takes a while to enlist, with all the paper work and tests etc. Maybe I can find a way to alleviate my BB before enlisting.Thanks Again.

I am considering enlisting in the military, preferably the Reserves. This is something I always wanted to do but BB held me back. Now that the military has raised the enlistment age, this may be my last chance to enlist. Has anyone experienced military life with having BB? Should I enlist? Will the ...

I DEFINATELY agree with Jimi. My breath can be smelled 50 feet away. I think it can be smelled even further. I get reactions going through driv-thru windows. I was talking to a stranger (sitting in my car) he came up to ask for directions about 50 or 60 feet away,once I opened my mouth, he just walk...

Btw, what i think is a MAJOR help is if you can control your nerves, one of the hardest things to do but one of the most helpful. Mentally tough, i try to forget about bad breath when i talk to people and i try NOT to cover my mouth. Its alll in your head. Whats the point in covering the mouth? If ...
