Most sugar free sodas and gums in the United States are flavoured with it.  When it breaks down from heat one of the byproducts is formaldehyde, which is not good for people.\n\nIt is also closely related to MSG, which give people migraines.\n\nSometimes it's not labeled in the ingredients, you have to search the label for "contains phenylalanine"

I don't think much of them.\n\nThey are expensive and full of sugar and caffeine, neither of which are good for you.

It tastes good. It's a cheap food additive like MSG, and probably just as bad for your health.

Okay time for a serious answer. \n\nNo it's not bad for your health. And you won't go blind or anything else, in fact tests have shown that it will keep your **** operating better. But many people won't tell you this becasue they don't want you "playing" with it.

Of course its bad... I mean it harms our lungs and it has carbon monoxide which can kill us by taking oxygen.\n\nAir pollution also causes Acid Rain and it harms the Ozone Layer. So with Air Pollution our lovely Earth's being destroyed.

It's delightful, almost always satisfying. Considered a sin by most, if not all, religions, including mine. Can't imagine, however that any of us don't do it. I've never had any ill effects, except when in my teens it became raw and irritated one week from "too much use." \n\nSee the link for some professional info.

There's millions of reasons. It's usually from hurting your body with pollutants that it can't handle in excess, like smoking and drinking. Excess drinking can poison the liver and cause it to shrivel up, and then it doesn't cleanse your blood as well as it should and you get extremely sick because bodily waste stays in your blood. Same goes for excess cigarette and cigar smoke (not pot smoke though, not that it's a good thing in itself). It leaves tar in your lungs so eventually it doesn't oxegenate your blood well enough. There's also tons of other reasons, like UV rays from the sun, radiation, etc...\n\nIt can be an extremely painful and upsetting experience for you and your loved ones. So please take care of yourself while you still can!!!!!

Yes its still bad.  What happens is that heat stays in your mouth.  Your mouth isn't meant to have that mush heat.  Instead of getting lung cancer you could potentially get mouth cancer.  Also the cigarette toxins still stays in your mouth and you will end up swallowing them into your stomach.  This will get into your digestive track and that's not good.  In essence it is all most the same thing as someone who chews, but with more heat.

It's not good because then your body begins to use it's fat for energy...and when you start eating again it will cause you to gain more weight than before.

I have the same problem! I was told that it has something to do with too much acid in your system. It's not harmful, but a doctor could help.

No, it is just aggravating to the rest of us.  Of course, if we get aggravated enough, that could be bad for your health.
