Does smoking give bad breath?

Smoking deteriorates the gums over the years, causing a disease called periodontitis, which causes very bad breath. But most of all, the smoke itself smells bad, and when you inhale it in your body, your mouth keeps that horrible smell and you get extreme bad breath. If you smoke, most people won't tell you that you have bad breath, but they will avoid you.
