but tobacco-free
Everyone knows that breath smells bad after smoking or dip. But a lot of people who smoke or chew think it goes away with gum or brushing. In reality, it doesn't. Tobacco funk lingers in your mouth all day long.
It’s obvious that when someone smokes a cigarette their breath will reek of it. Guys and girls admit they don't wants to get close to that. Especially when it lasts all day long.
Popping in a mint or chewing gum won't get rid of the stink. See, smoking dries out the mouth, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. And tiny particles of smoke that get inhaled stay in the lungs all day, gradually showing up over and over again in the mouth making someone’s breath seriously disgusting for a long time.
No matter if someone chews gum, grabs a mint or even brushes, the effects of tobacco cause bad breath all day. Tobacco-users might be used to this smell and don’t smell it anymore, but everyone else smells it.
Down and Dirty guys and girls think that kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray. That’s why most people prefer to kiss smokefree. Sure, some people out there don’t care. But why narrow down the field? Being tobacco-free equals more options.
Also, cigarette smoke interferes with the sense of smell and taste. Nicotine suppresses nerve activity in areas of the brain that are associated with the sensation of taste. After a while, everything starts to taste bland. It takes days or even weeks of being tobacco-free for taste to return to normal.
