No one ever had a problem with the rubber breaking down.
If you're concerned the rubber caskets are about $10 and need replacing 3-5 years or so..

As I mentioned in my prior post, it may depend on the type of toilet. I HAD used the chlorine drop in discs for years in our prior home that had toilets with the "old style" rubber flappers with no issues.
In our current home we have the Champion 4 toilets that use a different flush mechanism that has a round rubber (or plastic/nylon?) ring seal fixed by a hard plastic cap that sits over the water discharge. In our new home I used the chlorine discs for a year and every month or two the toilets would develop a slow leak and I would have to change out the ring seals to get them to stop, only to have the leak reappear a month or two later. After reading up on the issue I found the info about NOT using chlorine in the water tank due to the effect on the seals. I stopped using the discs and since have NOT had the slow leak issue. But I guess your mileage may vary...
