The whole family, including the father and siblings, pitches in to help raise the new additions. By nine weeks, the pups are weaned, and by one and a half years, the meerkats will be mature enough to have their own offspring. Meerkats live up to eight years in the wild and up to 13 years in zoos.
You don't chew nicotine gum the way you chew normal gum. If you did, all the nicotine would be released directly into your saliva. If you swallowed the nicotine-soaked saliva, it would provoke a terrible stomachache and a nasty and overwhelming craving for a cigarette.
To use nicotine gum: 1  Chew the gum slowly and stop chewing when your mouth starts to tingle. Park the gum between your cheek and gum and leave it there until the tingly feeling is gone. 2  Remove a piece of gum after 30 minutes, or when chewing no longer causes the tingly feeling.
