Poll question: Do you chew gum?
Yes, I do a couple times a day. Bazooka and those small fruit Chicklets are my favorites.

2. Not now. I'm an ex-gum chewer
I quit smoking about a month ago and for the first couple of weeks I chewed the hell out gum. I liked Big Red and Wrigley's Spearmint.

3. I used Juicy Fruit until I saw it has Aspertain

Aspertain is an artificial sweetner in gum. They fool you into thinking the gum is natural.

5. I voted no ..
chewing gum causes you to swallow air, gas in my tummy isn't a good thing.

6. Used to...then my dentist told me how it can cause stress
fractures on your teeth and trigeminal neuralgia pain from stress on the muscles and nerves in your jaw.

After forty it's patch patch patch, and I don't need anymore patching!

8. No and gum chewers irritate me
I find it a gross habit personally (my kids no doubt think I'm the meanest mom who ever lived because I wouldn't allow them to chew gum). Just the smell of it nauseates me.
