Hello I would like to start off by letting you know that I am no expert but I do a lot of reading on different things and I have come across a subject such as thumb sucking. NO thumb sucking is not a good oral fixation to have becuase the more you do it especially at an older age and to replace something like smoking, first you will be percieved as someone who never stopped doing it from childhood which people will think you will have some sort of issues. If you don't care what people thing about that, the other problem you will be faced with is that the longer your suck on your thumb the greater chance you have of your front teeth moving outward. This is why parents are always trying to find ways to get kids to do something other than suck on thier thumbs for comfort.

I've heard of a lot of people who have successfully stopped smoking by starting up their old thumb sucking habit. If it works and it's good, why knock it?

Having bucked teeth isn't attractive, no. But neither is smelling like an ash tray, having yellow/brown teeth, or lung cancer and death. I rather have jacked teeth if it will make me live a healthier life. If I can give XX amount of years of my life to a nasty habit like smoking, it's worth 3 years of braces.

I don't think that is very attractive to see a grown person sucking their thumbs, Don't get me wrong I have seen it, I have even seen grown people sucking a binky

Put something healthy in your mouth, carrot, pretzel rod ,celery, that way you don't look like a baby. You could also ruin your teeth, and not get a date. But wait that cute kindergartner is checking you out, hubba hubba.

No, not really. Plus, you could end up messing up your teeth and needing braces.

Well...
If you have a mouth fetish it may work.
I would prefer you chew on a toothpick, but whatever works for you.
