Should chewing gum be banned?

Just think of the amount of people who chew gum to help stop smoking.

I was horrified to read that it costs 3p to produce a pack of chewing gum, and 8p to clean up. As children WILL buy sweets with their money, if a little moral pressure was applied to local shopkeepers - by perhaps the Community Council - to STOP stocking chewing gum - I am sure they would be willing to help to improve the streets of Campbeltown. No one wants to have Main Street look as it does. Another gripe: the rundown state of the property below the Town Hall - a bad image, compare with surrounding buildings.

are we getting to the stage where we are going to see "CHEWERS" huts outside sweet shops????????????

is there nothing left in this world that IS socially acceptable?!?!?!?!?!?

The problem is not the chewing gum - it's the people who spit it out onto the ground. You can't ban chewing gum because some people are anti-social.

At that bit in Main Street, it is mostly the school kids that cause the mess. They come down for their lunch, spit out the gum and eat their grub outside the takeaway.

Maybe they need a "gum post" where they can stick their gum whilst eating. When they finish, they can peel their gum off and continue chewing. Bugger if they can't remember which is theirs' tho'
