Did you know that symptoms of bad breath depend upon medical cause? More here on major causes and related symptoms of bad breath...plus when to seek help....
My tongue has a white coat on it. What could be the cause of this and what can be done to rid of it. Would me being anemic and a smoker have anything to do with my problem?

I think it could be bacteria building up on your tongue from not keeping your mouth clean enough. It could also be from not ingesting enough water and your toung is showing signs of dehydration. I became dehydrated once and my tongue turned whitish as well. I'm also a smoker and the smoke we inhale may also contribute to making you have a white tongue b/c of the harshness of the smoke coasting over our tongue everytime we inhale.
