hopefully the last? chewing gum is a nasty habit.

Really? May I ask why?

There are actually good reasons to chew gum, at last the sugarless variety. http://worldental.org/gums/benefit-of...

"Really? May I ask why?"

The sound it makes. Ugh.

I think going to McDonald's too often is a nasty habit but I don't go into the "chain" category and berate every poster who asks a question about McD's. I have my own bad habits.

I'd much rather smell someone's "nasty" chewing gum than smell bad breath.
