Chewing gum is banned in several countries and cities, most notably in the [[nanny state]] [[Singapore]], where it was banned for twelve years under punishment of public humiliation, [[caning]], or worse. That legislation was recently revised so that chewing gum may again be sold, but under high regulation. Violations carry stiff fines and possible imprisonment of 2 years.<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-05-26-singapore-gum_x.htm</ref>
