I'm allmost afraid to admit this, I have a bad habit that I aquired in collage. I chew copenhagen snuff, smokeless tobacco, and yes I've tried to quit. A few hours of basketball without my fix is difficult. I chew a non-sugarless gum just to get by. I can't really say no gum to players as I chomp away.

I'm there too Mark, maybe we should start a bald ole geezer sub chapter on this board.

Even though I had honestly never thought about it, I can see that gum as a choking hazard is a possibility. However,
I think that this would not be as likely as falling on the floor, hitting you head, and fracturing your skull while playing ball. Also, probably neither of these things would
be as likely as being involved in a car accident on the way to the gym. NOTHING worthwhile is 100% safe.
