You aren't supposed to swallow chewing gum, but I've been swallowing mine for a long time.
Just how long do you mean when you say a long time?
If i had to estimate, for around the last 20 years.
Wow, that really is a long time. I don't know, but I've heard it could be bad for you to swallow gum. If you've been doing it for so long, you might want to see a doctor to check if it's done anything to your body.
Nah, I'm fine. I'm sure it's not going to do anything and I'd hate to have a doctor look inside my body.
Doctors are there to help you, and you don't have to let them do anything to your body that you don't want them to. You could just talk to one. Wouldn't it ease your mind to hear a doctor's opinion about swallowing gum if you're worried enough to bring it up to me?
