Answer #1

yea its an oral fixation or addiction, smoking is similar but of course contains nicotine. could be hard to stop, but there are worse things out there you could be addicted too. no biggie.

Answer #2

lol I agree with solo…being addicted to gum is nothing bad..[but it does have lots of sugar…lol maybe sugar free? naw! but chewing 2 much might start hurting your teeth[but it does make your teeth stronger] so keep chewing that gum girl :) I love gum to!

Answer #3

nah, actually that is a good thing, at least you are not “addicted” to worser things! keeping 13 packs of gum is not as bad as 13 packs of cocaine! seriously, don’t worry about it - everyone’s got a habit! I keep my gum too - love the bubblemint by Orbit - my fav.
