Answer:

im sure if your breath is bad enough you could smell it

people can smell their own. you never seen a person put their hand over their mouth and nose and bteath out their mouth to smell?

Probably because we are used to it. Lick your arm and then smell the area and you will know what your breath smells like.

Put your cupped hands over you mouth and nose, breath into them and you will smell your own breath.

Because we are poor judges of our own breath odor.

I can smell my own!

Because we are so used to it
