Occasionally I took a couple chews a day of mainly Red Man or some snus. I really enjoyed chewing but the bad breath it left was something that I have a hard time dealing with. I suppose that bad breath is just something that goes along with chewing and there is no way around it. Or did someone come up with a solution of some sort.

Anything with sugar is gonna breed the nasties real quick.

Try nasal snuff, no unintended scents.

Or make sugar free chew. I have dip or chew in my mouth quite often throughout the day and people are always asking me what kind of candy I'm eating because they can smell a sweet smell.

I use Xylitol ( from online sources such as Iherb) but I also use pure Sucralose.
Xylitol is not that sweet but it has an excellent anti-cavity effect on the teeth.

Could you relate how you make sugar free chew. I am new to this.

I make a sugar free twist by this method. It's a northern European salted chew but if you don't want it you can leave the salt out!

I take a 4 inch liquorice root and hammer it in to fragments - then place in a saucepan with a little water (about 200ml) and 1 teaspoon of salt. I boil it down until the liquid has reduced by half and then strain and cool the liquid. The liquorice doesn't have a lot of flavour but it adds a natural tooth-friendly sweetness. I then take that cooled liquid - add one teaspoon of propylene glycol (stops it from drying out too much) and a few drops of bergamot essential oil as a nice flavouring ... you could use any flavouring if you like as long as it's food-safe.
I then brush this mixture on the de-stemmed tobacco leaf and when pliable enough I roll it up in to twists and hang the twists to dry.

With all these kinds of recipes - there's a bit of trial and error needed ... you could use a booze of your choice, substitute the liquorice for xylitol, even add brewed coffee as a flavouring. I find that without sugar the propylene glycol is pretty essential as it dries up rock hard otherwise.
