    People chewed gum to fix their breath after smoking tobacco, and I don’t see people doing that anymore either.

    The ads never said that gum was for smokers, but it’s for smokers.

      Oh no, they absolutely did say that.

      I distinctly remember commercials that said, “you can’t smoke at work, so you need such and such gum”.

      That’s for a different reason, but it was tied to smoking at least.
