The other day when I was on the train, I held my hand up to my mouth and huffed into my palm. I did this to deflect my breath from my mouth into my nose. People looked at me like I was nuts! Was it a bad thing to check my breath like that? I mean, it's better than not knowing and nasally assaulting someone. Right?

i wouldn't think so. i always have gum or mints with me, i have a thing about bad breath issues, i wouldn't ever want to be grossing someone out.

This is something that is done in the privacy of the restroom or at home. Always carry some gum or breath mints for such an occassion so you don't end up causing a social faux pas.

Its not bad manners but you may want to be more casual when you do it. I always try to keep mints with me just in case.

Well, doing it very public, sometimes people don't like that. Do it casually and slowly as if you're wiping your face or something or just scratching your face or somethin'.

It is always a good habit to brush teeth after every meal keeping good hygiene.

I prefer to do it subtly, but I don't think its bad mannerism...

You can do it why not, but be discreet, do it when no one is looking.
