Does anyone know of problems related to long term niccotine gum consumption?

Question

Ive been chewing it for a year now. That also means a year as an ex-smoker! But, Im hooked on the gum and dont want to quit it anytime soon. I hope Im not harming myself.

Answer 1

The only thing noted to date about long term use is trading one addiction (cigarettes) for another (nicotine gum). Otherwise, the gum hasn't been out long enough for any long term studies. For an interesting story, please go here:
