There are several over-the-counter products available that can help combat bad breath. Mouthwashes containing antibacterial agents like chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride can help kill bacteria and freshen breath. Breath mints or lozenges containing menthol or eucalyptus oil can also provide temporary relief from bad breath.
Certain prescription medications can also cause dry mouth, so if you believe this may be a possibility, check with the prescribing physician.
Also see a doctor or dentist if bad breath develops after taking a new medication, after recent dental surgery, or if any other symptoms develop that are of concern.
Probiotics can be consumed through supplements or certain foods like yogurt and kefir. Including these foods in your diet can help promote a healthy oral microbiome and reduce bad breath.

We don’t like telling people what to do, but considering all of the serious health consequences of smoking, tobacco and vaping, we feel comfortable telling you to just quit. Not only will it improve your breath, it will protect your overall health.
