It is becoming big business. There are various machines on the market to facilitate the removal of the chewing gum from sidewalks.

This habit is on my list for "Things you do that will instantly make me think that you are a ****ing moron". Of course it does not have to be true, but in my experience it is often the case.

I find gum to be one of the most irritating things on the planet. It makes a person extremely unattractive. Especially if they're an open mouth chewer. Kind of tough to explain but hanging out with someone while they're just sitting there chomping away on some strange thing that isn't quite food.......it annoys the hell out of me. Even worse is when they take it upon themselves to plaster it to a wall or just drop it on the sidewalk. Incredibly disgusting IMHO.

Wow really! how did that come about? They can ban an annoying but relatively safe habit but tobacco and alcohol is legal (I assume?)

We are still newly weds, so we are still sappy, Last night when it was driving me crazy I said " I love you silly bubble popper" and see knows that its me politely saying would you quite that.

She then said " I sorry, I will stop" but then 10 mins later shes back at it. This is one reason that I dont chew gum, you open mouth chew, or pop bubbles without even noticing. I hate the thought of myself getting distracted by music or tv or thoughts and my gum chewing becoming a cow chewing the cud freak show.

Glad to see that I am not alone on the subject, when I started this rant I figured a bunch of people would call me stupid and say get over it.

Going to have to start a new team Team: Anti Gum

A lot of public property was destroyed by the gum like bus and train seats etc.. so the government just banned it. It's quite easy to do that in a country smaller than hawaii with only 4 million people.

Smoking is now banned in all indoor spaces and eating outlets...there are designated smoking points.

Do they really enforce the Ban? If your seen walking down the street chewing gum, what happens?

Consumption is fine. They just ban any transaction related to gum. You can get prescription gum over the counter at the pharmacy though. It's no secret why Singapore's one of the cleanest country in the world, literally and figuratively.

I love gum, I always try to keep a pack on me. Keeps me busy.
