Once upon a time, I was a smoker. And not just any smoker, mind you. I was a chain smoker. What started out of curiosity during my sophomore year in high school became one big bad habit that lasted for thirteen years. If not for my little man, I would have not been able to quit cold turkey. I stopped smoking in 2008 - the moment I learned I was five weeks pregnant with my son.
Receiving this
Fresh Breath Saver Pack from
Swish reminded me of the days when I used to smoke one pack (
perhaps even more) of cancer sticks per day. Ugh. Kids, do not try that (
I mean smoking) at home, or anywhere else for that matter. Lol.

Back then, you'd always find a bottle of mouthwash or a breath spray stashed in my bag - together with a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, a hand sanitizer (
you know, to keep my hands from smelling like burnt cancer sticks), and a bottle of perfume (
to mar the smell of smoke on my hair and clothes).

| Swish Breath Spray, Php 109 each. |
Breath sprays, such as this one from
Swish, make for a quick breath fix. Just one or two pumps would be enough to eliminate bad breath caused by smoking. They come in a handy dandy packaging that fits even tiny fob pockets (
as in the right-hand hip pocket in your jeans). Hence, they're pretty easy to lug around wherever you go.

Mouthwashes, on the other hand, provide longer lasting fresh breath. This one from
Swish is equipped with the
Surefresh Technology which not only helps kill bacteria that causes bad breath, but also prevents plaque build-up, gum disease, and tooth decay.

| Swish Mangosteen Mint 120 mL, Php 78. |
Like the other
Swish Mouthwash variants, the
Mangosteen Mint flavor is alcohol-free, which allows you to gargle for a good 30 seconds without the burning, stinging sensation in your mouth. Gargling with it twice a day leaves your mouth with round-the-clock freshness.
Now just because I've been nicotine-free for five years now doesn't mean that I have no use for these products anymore. I still keep a breath spray in my bag, and mouthwash bottles are a common sight in our bathroom.Because you know, bad breath is not caused by smoking alone. It can also be caused by eating and drinking.
With that in mind, Swish launches its '
Say Swish Campaign 2013'.
Swish will be having several '
Say Swish booths' set-up in leading supermarkets and drug stores nationwide. Customers can try the different variants of
Swish for free at the
Say Swish booths. There are five flavors to choose from, each with varying levels of mint:
Icy Choco Mint - sweet, minty sensation
Mangosteen Mint - fruity, minty sensation
Peppermint Fresh - strong mint
Cinnamon Blast - super strong mint
Arctic Chill - intense, strong mint
Freebies such as photobooth souvenirs and other premium items will be given upon purchase of any Swish product. And if you're really lucky, you can chance upon Swish endorser Ryan Agoncillo during the '
Say Swish' activities.
