Bahraini police confiscate bad breath-causing chewing tobacco
August 18, 2011 - Chewing tobacco is one of the most potent causes of halitosis, and the American Dental Association (ADA) warns that it is in no way a safe alternative to smoking.

This may be one reason why police in Bahrain have been confiscating chewing tobacco left and right these days.

How can I check whether or not I have bad breath?
