ABSOLUTELY! Tobacco in any form will cause bad breath. The thing is, it gets in your system just like eating onions or garlic. The odor releases through the skin pores for as long as 2 to 3 days, especially when you sweat. So, even brushing, flossing, mouthwash, gum, or mints don't work.
Hi,
Many forms of smoking or smokeless tobacco will cause bad breath. The predominate reason is the dry mouth and resultant tars and specs of smokeless tobacco that gets stuck between your gums and roots. Biofilm such as plaque and tartar easily adhere to the remnants of smokeless tobacco and also wedges into the papillae of the tongue resulting in loads of unwelcoming odors.

Yes. Chewing tobacco can causing formation of a dark coating on your tongue that can cause bad breath. Make sure you use a tongue scraper and also brush your tongue. Chewing tobacco can also affect the tissue of your mouth and cause oral cancer.
Chewing tobacco accelerates the accumulation of plaque, which causes bad breath, and obviously tobacco does not have a pleasant smell, so it can lead to a bad odor in the mouth. So, definitely chewing tobacco can lead to bad breath. You should quit since chewing tobacco can lead to oral cancer, which is very deadly.
