I was wondering if anyone uses breath mints after smoking, to "freshen up" or kill the "tobacco breath" that might be annoying to others?? If so, which ones do you prefer?

My local B&M carries a breath mint line, can't remember what they're called but I keep meaning to grab a tin to try.

I use the listerine pocket packs. Really seems to freshen my breath pretty well.

At work I have a bottle of biotene to rinse with after a smoke. I also carry a small spray bottle of biotene and they make gum too that I carry with my smoke stuff.

Altoids for a short-term or immediate freshening up. Doesn't do much for the lingering scent in my beard and mustache, however - that requires my full tooth brushing/face washing/neti pot routine, which I'll often follow up with an Altoid or two for good measure. :D

I've always kept a tin of the original Altoids Peppermints in the car.

If you don't like mint. Altoids also has Cinnimon flavor

which seems just as effective. :puffpipe:

For me the chief challange is with my clothes. My wife claims they reek! (Don't know what she is talking about)

My mints of choice are Altoids...

However; prevention is the way to go.

Hydration before, during, and after enjoying a bowl will greatly reduce"smoker's breath.

IMHO

Thanks guys. Nice to get your input.

The reason for this thread is that I've been selling Altoids and was wondering what some alternatives were.

According to Lawrence, I'll have to start selling water................
Cheers,

Okay, here's another suggestion. Cloves are inexpensive, mild, and in addition to being a breath freshener,

alternative medicine people have suggested (without scientific evidence perhaps) that they also help lower

triglyceride levels, which would be a good thing. Any of these breath freshers assumes otherwise good

dental hygien of course; no substitute for a toothbrush, etc. I use cloves one at a time; don't chew them

and don't swallow them. If you are into cooking (my wife is) a really small saffron tin makes a good

container, or I guess one of those pocket pill carriers. And cloves are way cheaper than alternatives.

Meltzer's all natural Puremints are some of the best mints around. They are made with real herbs and pure mint oils.
