The state or condition of having bad breath (9)

I believe the answer is:

halitosis

(Other definitions for halitosis that I've seen before include "offensive condition" , "Smelly breath" , "Foul breath problem" , "Bad breath, smells unpleasant" , "repulsive pants?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
