    That's not true at all,you actually get less oxygen breathing through your mouth.I think people call others mouth breathers as a form of insult,like a dumbass mouth breather,just sitting around mouth agape,pondering the great mysteries of life.😮 Yeah look it up you'll see your nose was meant to be breathed through.
