    I smoked for about 10 years and replaced that with vaping. Then I replaced vaping with chewing gum in January.

    I chew 2 pieces of Extra 6-7 times a day and Blockheads multivitamin gum twice a day.

    I also carry strips of foil I can spit into if I’m at my desk or not near a bin.

      I bet you could crack open a jawbreaker with one bite with those jaw muscles.

      That’s interesting though, have you noticed any changes from that amount of gum?

        No, but it’s only been a couple of months.

        Plus I’m single right now, if you catch my drift.

      I went to school with a girl who chewed gum everyday, she ended up in hospital with a stomach ulcer.

      When you chew, your brain sends signals to your stomach to produce acid to break down the food that is incoming, but if you don’t actually consume food, the acid will just continually build until there’s a problem.

      Basically just saying be careful, though I’m not sure if there is any warning signs you can watch for.
