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.
Steps for chewing nicotine gum. 1  Warm the gum in your mouth for 1 to 2 minutes. 2  Chew slowly until you feel a slight tingling or peppery taste in your mouth. It takes about 15 chews to have these feelings. 3  When you feel tingling or have the peppery taste, stop chewing. Place (park) the gum between your cheek and gums.
