Is it possible to be attached to chewing gum?

Question

I can't stop chewing gum. My favorite brands are Orbit, Extra, Trident, and Koolerz. I can chew a enitre pack in one day. I guess it helps me a lot when I am stressed. I know people who can't stop smoking, or drinking. What should I do?

All of the gum I chew is sugarfree.

Answer 1

Why do you want to stop chewing gum? It's not bad for you, in fact many dentists reccomend chewing sugar free gum after meals because it cleans your teeth. If it helps you reduce your stress level keep on chewing. If you really do want to stop you could probably use the same methods that cigarette smokers use, except nicorette of course. It is possible to be "attached " or addicted to anything!

Answer 2

Yes, it's possible to be addicted to anything. However, unless the sugar in the gum is affecting your teeth, or you chew with your mouth open like a cow, gum chewing is not that bad. Gum chewing is actually good as a stress reliever and as an acid reducer for your stomach. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it as long as you are not in a place where gum chewing would be offensive to those around you.

Answer 3

Yes. I'm addicted to cinnamon gum.
You just be sure to choose sugar free
gum, if not SUGAR is the most prevalent
addiction in the world, so that could be your
issue. Chewing gum has its positives, like
satisfying the need to chew and keeping your
mouth busy, you know so it doesn't consume
large portions of bon-bons instead.

Too quit, try to buy what you need from the
store or gas station in BULK and get rid of
all the gum you now have. It takes three (three
days, three refusals, three weeks) to form any
new habit. It's not a bad habit to have, in my
opinion, especially if you practice good dental hygiene.

Answer 4

I go through a pack of Orbit White a day; as long as it's sugarless gum, you should be fine. Good for your teeth and stuff, helps produce saliva that gets rid of bad breath. Whitens teeth. Eases stress without smoking. What's the problem?

Answer 5

I am also so addicted to gum! I buy a large pack of Freedent gum each day! I love the taste of it! I do not know the reason taht I love gum so much---but it is ok to have an addiction to something that is safe!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Go here for an awesome dog training program http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?5gx6

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn t going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don t be one of them.

Answer 8

As long as you don't swallow an entire pack of gum each day -- you're fine :)
I hope that it is sugarfree though :)

Answer 9

I'd say just don't worry about it. It's better than smoking or drinking.

Answer 10

Always be on the lookout for tables.
