Ciggie smell the worst on your breath

London, March 19 : According to a new survey, cigarettes make breath smell worst.

The poll conducted by Superdrug found 70 per cent of people hate talking to someone who have just finished smoking.

"When you''re getting up close and personal, there''s nothing so off putting as having to deal with something like bad breath," the Sun quoted Simon Comins, from Superdrug, as saying.

He added: "Today everyone needs to perform to their best ability in a work setting so we''d advise to look after their dental hygiene - garlic breath at a job interview may make the difference between getting the job or not."

Garlic, un-brushed teeth and Marmite followed fags in the poll of 3,000 adults.

Also, onions, beer, pickled onions, fish, curry and coffee featured in the top 20.
