If you're using it as recommended, I'm pretty sure it can't actually hurt you. I am more worried about what is causing you to have trouble breathing in the first place. Do you just like the smell, or do you have congestion and cough that gets worse when you don't use it?

If you've had persistent congestion and cough that isn't getting better, you should see a doctor to check for allergies or illness that need to be treated.

If you just like the smell, you might try putting it on something other than yourself (like a hanky) that you can keep close by. That way you can be sure it's not the mild analgesic (painkiller) you're craving.

You can also try buying one of those small Vick's vaporizers for your desk or your nightstand. I've never tried those, but they look like they'd work great.

Finally, if you have questions about the uses and potential hazards of Vicks VapoRub, you can call their hotline at 1-800-873-8276.

Good luck!

Tell somebody! It IS bad for your health. Switch to gum or something.

Wow... you should see a psychologist.
Vicks isn't an addictive substance.
Just stop doing it. If you can't then you may have some obsessive compulsive tendancies that need to be addressed.
