I've chewed the gum lots, for me its cheaper than smokes and easy to quit cause it tastes so bad, I had a buddy pick me up some gum to bring to me at work, he lived outside Vegas and the gum was terrible tasting, way worse than the Canadian version but then cigs from the States smell terrible when burning and the taste is bad too (kinda like your beer compared to ours).
The gum is defiantly not healthy, better than smoking but the nicotine does something to the platelets in your blood and make them stick to your arteries, plaque like build up happens, killer after and Angioplasty stent has been added, maybe one of the Doc's can let us know for sure what Nic does but its still not healthy - better than the butts though
Nic has always been easy for me to quit, food and something to do with my hands is my problem, I brought out the Banjo to keep my hands busy and went on a drastic diet for the weight gain. I set obtainable goals too, check out you tube - Steve n Seagulls, thunderstruck, I'm not as good as that guy, yet.
God hates a quitter but he looks the other way when it comes to booze, drugs, cigs & redheads.
