If you smoke enough, the stink comes out your pores.

Typically, smokers don't stop smoking for hours at a time. They smoke pretty regularly throughout the day. Also, any mouth odor is compounded by the natural bacteria in the mouth. That is why we brush our teeth and gums.
Two main reasons.. one is that they likely have not brushed their teeth after every ciggie and so the smell is embedded in the tissues of the mouth. Second reason is that the lungs are coated in the tobacco residue and every time they exhale, you can smell the stuff from their lungs.
"Smoking apparently inhibits saliva production. This is a problem because saliva plays an important role in inhibiting the multiplication of anaerobic bacteria, which live at the back of the tongue, and sometimes in spaces between teeth and gums, and between the teeth. These anaerobic bacteria (bacteria which live where there is no oxygen) produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) when they digest proteins for nutrients. So bad breath and smoking go hand in hand because smoking decreases saliva and a decrease in saliva results in an increase in VSC producing anaerobes in the mouth."
hope this can help your question
