That I find interesting. Smoking is not very rational; it rides along with many social yearnings which I thought were somewhat rare here. (I also used to smoke cigarettes, but quit cold turkey, after about 75 failed attempts.)
Do you mean going from not smoking at all, to chewing nicotine gum? I find that tempting, along with electronic cigarettes, because of the upsides to nicotine. It still seems like a bad idea in the long run due to withdrawal effects in the event that nicotine was unavailable.
From what I’ve heard about the demographics here, you might want to ask whether the gum contains nicotine.

Smoking isn’t very rational. That’s why some people here who’ve never smoked chew the gum instead.
