Delicate situation.I offer mints, refreshing candies when these people approach and talk to me.Some take it, but some don't.Of course, I never say anything about bad breath, I just share stuff.Sometimes the problem is a dry mouth and it can be easily solved with a glance of natural water.

I know that if i had bad breath and didnt realise i would want people to tell me.So that i could sort out the probleem and so people wouldnt be judging me.Though i would be worried bout telling someone else that they had bad breath in case it made them upset or angry.If idid tell the person i would talk to them about it in private so i didnt embarass the person.Thats how i would like to be approached about the situation.I would imagine that most people if asked would like to be told if the had bad breath,or at least its probably true for my friends and family.Though actually being told it probably feels very different to how you imagine you would feel.Though luckily i have never been in that situation.

I couldn't say anything. Although I think that it's better for him to know, so he could do something for his bad breath, I couldn't find a way to tell him that and don't make him feel uncomfortable. So, i would just try to tolerate this as long as I would be talking to him

I also have a coworker with bad breath. Not only that, he also smells bad. He smells as though he never takes bath before going to work. He smells like floor dirt mixed with urine.
How I wish he can smell himself.

I think, if he considers you as his friend, he should not take it against you because you are just showing that you care for him. It is much better if it comes from you that he learns it from other people who might even make fun of him.
Bad breath or halitosis is caused by decayed teeth or from the inside of your stomach which is odor from the food that you eat. Usually, when a person eats spicy food all the time, it could make your breath have that foul odor.
So maybe, if you just tell him casually that you don't want to offend him but you just care for him.
