I can't stop sniffing it

I love the minty burning feeling it gives me. I used to smoke menthols before I got pregnant, and this feels reminisent. Although I don't crave a fag.

Is this a bad addiction in terms of the pregnancy Blush

What are you addicted to?

Nothing, personally - but DSis used to inhale really deeply when cars went by, as she loves the smell of petrol smoke whilst pregnant! :o

Hey! Same with me lol! I am 20M and I really get addicted to vicks whenever I have cold or blocked nose. Even after it's treated, I have to lock the inhaler somewhere or I would not stop sniffing it lol. But after stopping the use, the cravings go away in 4-5 days or maybe a week... As far as I know, it's not dangerous and actually makes the breath fresh. But still better not get addicted to anything.Smile
