It wont hurt you if you do, but if you did swallow the gum it would sit inside of you for about 5 years or so. You wont want to do it all the time.

Should you? Probably not, but there is no real harm

It is not bad to swallow a small amount of Chewing Gum. If a person swallows a large amount of gum, it may cause a blockage in the stomach.

Yes you can. However it is very bad for you and can lead to health problems. If I were you I'd spit gum out when your finished and chuck it in the bin :)

No. You can swallow gum and it will just go down like food. The only way you could choke is if it is a great big piece of gum.
