I like to chew gum, as a teenager myself, But i wouldnt ever spit it out onto the ground when im done chewing a piece. As for spitting? I dont do that at all, its disgusting and vile, We could all do without viewing someone hawk their loogie onto the floor and then having to step over it. Thats what we should have, special areas where people who need to spit can go. ''Spitting Only Area" nevermind smoking, the sound alone of someone about to spit is enough to peel my toe nails off.
