How To Stop The Habit Of Chewing Gums?
I have been married to my hubby for 10 years. He chews over a can a day and keeps it in his mouth for hours... He will play x-box and chew for uo to 6-8 hrs. at a time!!! We have fought, our lil girl wrote a heartfelt letter, we have discussed the financial burden and I have cried..... NOTHING!! I am so worried about his health, he has to constantly eats tums. He has to move the chew to all different area of his gums also. I have pulled up info and pictures on line.... He says yeah. yeah I know!!!! He Is DELIBARETELY doing something that can kill him... I smoked years ago like 15, so please do not tell me it is a hard thing to stop... It is possible, WHY WONT HE!!!!

Hi,
Thanks for writing.
I believe your husband may benefit from a visit to a trained psychiatrist. Its hard to leave a habit of long term, and hence professional intervention may be needed.
Hope this helps,
