You were having habit of tobacco chewing. But if now you are not continuing this habit then reson for your bad breath is not tobacco.
Generally there many reasons for bad breath like nose and throat problems, stomach problems, indigestion, diabetes, smoking, asthama and many other things like foods with offensive odour like onions , garlic and all. We need to clean our tongue everyday after brusing with a tongue cleaner which is easily available in the market. Because tongue coating in which bacteria are present are mainly responsible for bad breath. So you need to maintain your oral hygine.
Next Steps
Use mouth fresheners, and use chlorhexidine containing mouthwash 2 times in a day , 10 ml each time , without water and gargles for 20 to 30 seconds in mouth and then spit it.
Use tongue cleaner to clean your tongue properly. Use mouthwash for 15 days. avoid foods with offensive odour.
