You sound just like my daughter! She's addicted to the cinnamon-flavored ones.

well i do not know about the addiction part but the whole bad breath thing is because of the tictacs. most breath fresheners / bacteria killers dry out your mouth. when your mouth is dry the bacteria will grow faster and multiply making your breath reek. drinking lots of non sugary fluids. (water is the best) will help as if you are using a mouth wash always have a glass water afterword.

tic tacs do have sugar in them..constantly exposing your teeth to sugar puts yourself at high risk for cavities. This may be the reason that you feel like you have bad breath. I don't know why your mouth would feel badly unless you haven't been brush very well with this new habit. You should brush your tongue when you brush your teeth two times a day for 2min each. Cut back on the sugar before it's too late. Also may want to get a fluoride rinse like ACT. It will strengthen enamel help prevent decay.
