Ask the Addict: Use Chap Stick only in Winter

A question from Nechama F.

I didnt see this on the site- I use chapstick only in the winter from cold weather. I answered no to all the self evaluation questions. Am I at risk for being addicted? Are there any brands that are “safe” to use?

It sounds like you are using Chap Stick responsibly. If you didn’t answer yes to a single question on our Self Test then I think you are at very low risk for developing a dependency.

Great story from Amy Robach today about ChapStick addiction. Her story is similar to mine: she got hooked on ChapStick received on Christmas morning.
