How to break a gum-chewing habit?

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 4:23 pm

My 15-year-old daughter is terribly addicted to gum. She chews it non-stop, usually 4 or 5 pieces at a time. I’m hoping to find some way to make her want to stop on her own. Apparently it doesn’t bother her that she looks like a truck stop hooker – so is there any other bad thing about gum chewing that might make her want to stop? Something along the lines of “it makes you fat” or “it gives you zits” – but something that’s actually true?
I care because it’s a very unattractive habit.
