    Growing up, there was one product that I could not live without and this was chewing gum. I loved everything about it: the unwrapping of a new piece, the vibrant taste as you chew the fresh piece, and the challenge of stuffing the most amount of gum you could in your mouth to make the biggest bubble ever. This simple and ideal tradition is banned from most schools. If schools want students to feel comfortable, schools need to rethink their restriction. To begin, BBC News states that gum chewing increases brain function by making the heart beat faster, causing blood and nutrients to rush to the brain.…
