DO you think chewing gum is a bad habit? My parents say it is a bad habit and prohibit me from chewing gum. But i don't chew all gums. I just chew a few ones which are actually beneficial for the health and well being of the body. Some even claim to actually reduce the PH level of the teeth. Even when i told my parents about it they are so stubborn and they don't want me to do that? DO you think you would stop chewing gum if you could?

no, it isn't at all a bad habit. they can't surely forbid me because they too chew it for jaw exercise.chewing gum isn't bad unless swallowed.all gums are good for health as they give your jaws an exercise of a life-time.i chew a lot of gums.it is a daily role in my life to chew gum at home or even at school.it does decrease the PH level of the teeth according to the science i know.gum plays a major role in my life and i surely can never stop chewing it.

I think chewing gum is not bad, But so embarrassing when all the time you are chewing gum, especially in formal occasions and at work in the office.. As I was remember we had a friend we called goat because he was always chewing a gum.,.. :)

Heard that gum chewing helps to release the mercury in your fillings if they're too old. Not good! Bubble gums good though.
