Because of the air that is swallowed .

thank you for the thumbs down . Although some sugar-free gums contain mannitol which is not efficiently digested resulting in gas , also MASTICATION (chewing) in general stimulates secretions and peristalsis , the major cause of flatulence from both chewing gum and smoking is SWALLOWED AIR !!!
