gum chewing is just a disgusting habit in general....
Anyway, I fully agree that chewing gum can be harmful though.

I had a biology teacher in H.S. that successfully grossed out most of us students. The topic chewing gum came up and how many people constantly open their mouth and close it when chewing. Creating a vacuum each time. Which sucks air from the surrounding space into the mouth, then gets mixed/chewed into the gum. She then said, "Look around you and imagine and stuff floating in the air in here." (Bio Lab with dead critters and whatnot getting cut up). Then she said, "How many of you chew your gum while in the restroom?!"
Eww...

It will really gross out coworkers, especially if they think you spitting out something other than a piece of gum.

I don't like chewing gum, but I use it on the airplane to deal better with the changes in air pressure.

Maybe you are all at a big party and didn't invite me. 🙁
