A study of patterns of chewing gum consumption amongst the Irish population.
A study to determine the pattern of chewing gum consumption amongst the Irish population was undertaken by means of a questionnaire completed by approximately 1,500 respondents from primary and secondary schools and third level colleges and employment exchanges. The results showed that approximately one-third of the respondents chewed gum at least once per day and a sizeable proportion of the younger population use sugar-free gum.
