  I’ve seen a kid at the supermarket pop the top off of one of these bad boys and down its full contents, crunching through the mass of gum’s solid outer layer audible from half an aisle’s length away. Not a safe solution with kids around.

      I didn’t mean it like that, but the mental image sent chills down my spine. No, this sort of gum usually has a crunchy outer coating like an m&m, which I heard.

      Shit, I don’t think I could fit one of these things in my mouth. The sort of snake child that could do so terrifies me.

  Supplanting a smoking addiction with a low-stakes gambling habit, very clever.

    Idk, seems like a variable reinforcement schedule to me. They are typically more effective at building lasting behaviors.

    I think this would just get you addicted to gum while tapering you off nicotine (assuming you decrease the number ofnicotine gum pieces).

      Isn’t gum better tho? I’d still see it as a win

      I actually knew a guy who stopped smoking with nicotine gums and indeed got addicted to gums

  I’m not sure this works because you don’t chew nicotine gum like regular gum. I think you release the nicotine by chewing, so you munch on it a few times and then let it sit for a while.

  I tried them but I couldn’t make them work. This start-stop chewing drove me nuts, and whenever I didn’t pay attention, I chewed on it too much and got woozy. I ended up going cold turkey with a shitton of regular gum.

    Wait what? Really? I didn’t know they worked that way. I ended up biting tiny pieces off and chewing them (often together with a normal gum) because I couldn’t handle their strength.
