Lumpy farts.

Because I have the results of non-smoking nicotine use. Which is, disruption of pancreatic function.
I chewed the gum for about six years - not to quit smoking, but to stay awake working 12-hour swing-shifts. No failure permitted. Most railroaders smoked, and once in the life, I could see why. I wasn't going to take that up, but chewing for the nicotine hit worked just as well.
