i wasn't allowed it til i was 12 but have seen some parents in shop letting children as young as 5 eat it!

I don't let my 7yr old have it yet but have seen 6 yr olds with it.

Probably when they reach the age to just go and buy it.Ds1 is 9 and not allowed it.
Saw some one buy gum for a 3yr old yesterday.

dds were allowed it once they they turned 8 - have no idea how I arrived at taht age though!

as soon as they are old enough to undertand that you chew it and dont swallow it (5 or 6?)
Then I give in to their pleas to have it, and start a heavy propaganda campaign against it. Hate the stuff.
