Do you know of negative affects of long term nicotine gum usage?

I googled it: Long-term exposure 2 smoke-free nicotine by the use of nicotine-containing chewing gum is associated w' hyperinsulinemia &insulin resistance. Because Insulin resistance and irs r important risk factors, this finding is consistent with increased cardiovascular morbidity & mortality in long-term users of smokeless tobacco. http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/94/5/878.full.
