A new research has revealed that people with cigarette smell in their breadth actually repel people. The stink is enough to keep other away from a smoker.

It was a survey conducted by Superdrug, the health and beauty retail chain. It found in its study that 70 per cent of people hate talking to someone who has just finished smoking.

The survey which included 3,000 individuals rated smoke breath on top of the list of repealing smells. It was followed by garlic, un-brushed teeth and Marmite.

Simon Comins, from Superdrug stated that it is very disgusting to get close and personal with someone with a foul breath. He further added, "Today everyone needs to perform to their best ability in a work setting so we'd advise to look after their dental hygiene - garlic breath at a job interview may make the difference between getting the job or not." The relationships come at stake when issues of personal hygiene are brought in.

However with reference to survey, the other winners who made it to the list were onions, beer, pickled onions, fish, curry and coffee. They formed the top 20.
