In Singapore chewing gum is banned. It is not allowed to be sold in any shop, and anyone found chewing it is liable to a fine !! Looking down at pavements and walkways and the utter mess spit out chewing gum leaves...I am asking should we follow that lead. I can not see what use or good chewing gum is. It may refresh your mouth and breath...but so does a polo mint. I know the actually answer is that we dispose of gum responsably.....but fact is people don't. I will be first to vote for the banning of chewing gum.
Me too. You start the political party and I'll join.
There is a gum that breaks down fairly quickly but it costs too much so doen't get made.
And, to be honest, the sight of someone chewing gum is generally unpleasant. And people often chew mouth-open or talk to you while manouvering it around in their open mouth - vomitworthy.
I'm all in favour of banning anything I don't enjoy. Chewing gum is a very timid starting point.
It's not the gum itself that is the problem, it's how folks dispose of it! Strange the US is a country that probably invented and made it cool to chew gum, but you don't see the streets paved with the damn stuff. Probably a British thing to go with our love of litter.
I propose a tax on chewing gums to fund the deployment of additional street cleaners where appropriate. I confess until this thread appeared I had never bothered to look for it in the street but now that I have I agree that its a problem.
Have u tried the new trebor chewing gum its great biggrin surprised :D :o :D :o :D :o :D :o :D :o :D :o :D :o
I have to agree, wen it's stuck all over the pavements, it looks a right mess, if it's disposed of properly i dont see a problem with it......
infact i chew all the time, and have been known to wrap it round a cock or two, never had any complaints there :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

sandy,
do agree, there is rubbish that everyones throws, and indeed can get fined for. But wrappers and stuff, can be swept up by a street cleaner. However gum sticks to the pavement. next time out in town just look down at where your walking, and you will see what I mean. Yes responsable disposale is the answer, but the sight that you will see on the floor, shows this is not happening !!
If you ban chewing gum what happens to all the people who've stopped smoking ??? just think of all the dental bills with all that tooth grinding ...the british dental profession would become an international figure of fun....for gods sake have pity and leave us something

Dean its my only vice, i dont drink or smoke and i dont litter, i`m a resposible chewer confused please can i keep my gum worship
I cant remember where I saw it, but some towns have photograph posters of politicians and the like, so that people can put their 'used' gum on the faces of the people they dont like. lol
Seriously though, gum does create an awful mess, and although I chew it, mainly when driving, and I do wrap it up and bin it when I get home, I do agree it's not the nicest of things to pop into your mouth.

Dean it was an emergency redface
it had to come out so something else could go in wink
p.s BMW you grass rolleyes
I don't spit, I swallow redface
And that goes for gum too :twisted:
ugh hate the stuff at the moment, cos we went to a club recently and some asshole must have just left their leftovers on a seat, only for my other half to sit in it, subsequently ruining a good pair of trousers and then because it wasnt noticed ended up all over the car seats and sofa at home...grrrr.
saying that we chew the stuff but dispose of it thoughtfully :P
I gotta agree I hate chewing gum. One of my many pet hates. Bloody stuff gets everywhere and hate the sight of people chewing it mad
