Commuters fed up with bad breath

The worst part of the morning is being squashed against other people and putting up with their lack of hygiene, says a survey

BAD breath is ruining people’s day in France, says a survey.

The study by TNS-Sofres for confectioners Cadbury found that people generally get up in a good mood, but this is wrecked after they have to sit squashed in public transport next to people who are sweaty or have smelly breath.

Seven out of ten said having to be in close contact with other people was the worst thing about taking trains and buses; half said putting up with bad breath and sweat is very difficult.

Only third among morning woes is being too hot and lacking fresh air.
