Yes it is better that someone tells them rather than no one telling them

Ah yes I would but then again it would depend on the person. If they look like the type they will attack you then no.
When I use to work in a supermarket we had this person who literally smelled. You were able to smell that person's foul body odor from two isles down. Store manager had to use at least a dozen cans of air freshener to cover the smell.

Lol it really depends. It's best to gauge their personality and their potential reaction first. Also consider the situation. If they actually need to smell good, like for a business meeting or something and they asked, by all means tell them. If they seem really sensitive or that they might take offense, I probably wouldn't tell them. If they're like a friend of mine and they're just asking, I would probably tell them.

If they ask you that means they're concerned and they're relying on you for an honest answer. Just be polite and say something like "You smell like you haven't taken a shower in a few days, but it's not that bad."

Yes I would tell the truth, but as kindly as possible. Maybe even suggest some products they can use to smell better.

I think it depends on the person.
Some people don't care if they smell bad.
But if it is one of my female friends and her breath smells
or her shirt stinks (sour or body odor) or something like that...of course.
I would be a little offended if someone told that to me, but I would be glad that I knew so I could fix it.

I have told someone they smelt before and, although I've never been asked, I would tell them the truth if they asked.

If they asked me, I'd be honest. But, I would not volunteer the info otherwise. Unless, of course, it was someone that I am very, very close to. Like my own family.
