strong breath

Does strong breath mean bad breath? What is the difference?

Thanks in advance!

Hello N2G, Usually, it means "breath that is offensively noticeable". Some bad breath is only noticeable from very close up; but strong breath can be noticeable from two or three feet away (or even fill a small office). All the best, MrP

PS:

On reflection, breath may be "strong" because of the intake of alcohol, spicy foods, etc.

So it's not always halitosis.
