It would depend how close you and he are because if it is a friend, partner or family member then you can easily be constructive in telling him. If it someone I care about I would find someway to inform because I rather be the one to say something and not perhaps someone to hurt his feelings. Since you do not say if he is a close friend/partner/family, if he is not then it would be hard to outwardly say something. I know I have spoken to others and they usually say that they have like gum and or hard candy and offer it to the person without making it obvious. Sometimes though bad breath can be part of a health issue, maybe in the stomach and it comes out this way.

Yeah if he is a friend I would say a little something, maybe in a form of a kidding type voice so his feelings won't be hurt. Not saying anything maybe someone will hurt his feelings. He may not know if it is something due to gum problems and or stomach issues. Some people say that sometimes people do not know their own breath smells. If it were me I would make some gesture and sort of pretend and say oh gosh what is that I think my breath smells and then maybe he might get the message but it will not hurt him that way. Good luck, asking means you care about him. That is sweet of you.
