The reason why you would have to ask this question in the first place, escapes me entirely, but the short answer to this is, you shouldn't chew gum at work anywhere at any time...It makes you look stupid.

I think it is only in United States that may be okay chew gums in public and at workplace. In general, it is not okay to chew or take drink or food while you are working, particularly if the work is of Blue-Collared one. However, inside your office and cubicle you may do whatever pleases you, out of view of your colleagues! You may be aware that Chewing Gums were banned item for importation in Singapore for many years. I am not sure if they have relaxed or lifted the ban. Even if the immigration, customs and airport officials would find you carrying chewing gums then those would be confiscated. So, in a way only country that put ban on chewing gum is Singapore and I personally support this ban for the reasons stated by the government of Singapore back in 1990s. Btw, in Bangladesh you can chew the gums in public and people would think of you as a ‘snob’ if you try to do the same in workplace, since it would be tantamount of imitating the Americans!
