Commentary
Use of garlic and onion is not prohibited, or else it would not be commanded that they be cooked well.
It is prohibited to enter the mosque after eating something emitting a foul smell.
Smoking should also be avoided because the odor of a cigarette or cigar is more unseemly and obnoxious even than that of garlic or onion.
