How do you tell someone they have good breath?
Don't you think he or she deserves to be recognized for such an accomplishment? Or do you think it might lead to the sin of lust on your part or the sin of arrogance on his or hers? (Adding that last question there so that it sounds like it belongs in R&S).
@ mEDnERD: Ah, but you didn't add the all-important question about whether it would be a sin or not to yours.

Wow, your breath smells really [minty]. It could be "cinnamony" or simply really nice :) I imagine that facial expressions or body language in general will help to convey what you're meaning. For example, if you simply have a smile on your face (such as the one in your avatar pic) and state it in a matter-of-fact fashion, then that should probably do the trick. If, for another example, you stand really close to the person's face, lower the volume of you voice, and twitch your eyebrows a bit, then that would probably change the meaning significantly :-P
Edit:
I forgot to address the sin part of the question...
I don't think that noticing one's breath smells nice in and of itself is a sin. Unsolicited compliments (solicited being something along the lines of asking how clothing or hair looks and such) can potentially be uncomfortable to a person depending upon the nature of the relationship the two people have with one another. For example, I wouldn't have a problem saying it to a relative or one of my lifelong friends; but, an acquaintance might feel uneasy about it, so I -- personally speaking -- would probably keep it to myself. It largely depends on who it is and how comfortable we are with each other as well as the occasion and setting.
Peace be with you.

Why do no longer you place a spin on it from a well-being attitude-- i be attentive to it extremely is tough no remember the kind you attempt to declare it... you may desire to tell him which you hardship he would could see a periodontist for a gum examine or some thing via fact ... oh, then i assume you may say, "your breath smells undesirable." in case you extremely desire to come back out and permit him be attentive to, you will could merely tell him. i'm uncertain that spraying him with breath spray or throwing mints at him is unavoidably going to do the trick.
