Swallowed gum typically does not go into the lungs; instead, it passes through the digestive system and is usually excreted within a few days. However, if someone accidentally inhales gum while chewing it, it can potentially enter the lungs, leading to serious respiratory issues. It's important to chew gum carefully to avoid such accidents. Overall, the body's natural mechanisms help prevent swallowed objects from entering the lungs.
