ADDITIONAL ADDICTION

when people talk about addiction the first thing that comes to everybody's mind is alcohol. then comes nicotine, cannabis, drugs like opium, sleeping pills. there is literature even on tv addiction and internet adiiction. there are peaople who are addicted to snuff and paan. there is some literature on cartoon addiction, movie addiction, addiction to video games and puzzles etc. what if you are addicted to nasal drops???!!! if you dont use it you are breathing through your mouth. then it becomes a habit. you are unable to breath the natural way. dependence pattern develops. you thinkk of buying it the next day because there is only 2 more drops remaining. but after all this is life sustaining and there are no health problems using it. so could it be categorised under addiction? rather should it be?

Yup there is addiction to nasal drops..rather as u said dependence. That can be developed in case of all medicines. Not psychological but a general principle states that excess of everything is bad and I guess addiction is a manifestation of having an excessive affiliation for something.
