Could i be psychologically addicted to vicks inhaler?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Everythings possible: Most of these inhalers are just for symptomatic relief, and contain camphor, menthol and generally surface acting agents that are soothing. They are not generally systemically absorbed to cause problems. Addiction implies more than habit - it means it is causing you problems and that you have lost control of your use. If this is the case, a mental health provider may be of help. Talk to PCP.
