Answer 8

I'm an American and I do chew a lot of gum but only when I'm working. The reason? I am a Chemical Lab Tech and I work in a very dry environment. We are not allowed to have food or drink in the area for good reason (chemical contamination) so rather than feel uncomfortable with a dry mouth and throat all day long I will chew gum.. . I always take care to properly dispose of it by wrapping it in a tissue before I put it in the garbage.
