I ’ve never been a back talk balm user . This is because I tend to avoid things that my friend find addictive – and I ’ve had friends who have been , dare I say , addictedto lip balm since elementary shoal . After a few hours without it , they ’re clearly jonesing , twitching , and needing a localization . I wo n’t name any brands here – they seem to be somewhat much the same , as far as I ( a non - exploiter ) can separate . To me , backtalk balm just feels weird – but apparently this weirdness turns into a necessary feeling after regular use .
Apparently other citizenry have point out this addictive * caliber too – there ’s aLip Balm Anonymouswebsite consecrate to documenting what might cause the pseudo - dependency of brim balms . ensure out theirIs Balm Addictive?page for some well - cited treatment of what dependance is , and whether it might apply to mouth balms .
I also come across a well - write blog situation about lay off mouth balms as well as moisturizing software , entitledAn Addiction . Here ’s a snipping :
I ’m not sure that lip balmspreventexfoliation ( see the links above at Lip Balm Anonymous for more treatment of this ) but they for certain seem to have effects that make your back talk feel super - weird when you kibosh using them . It seems that avoiding this feeling is more what drive users not to quit ; though there ’s also the constituent of something tingly ( stack , etc . ) in some brands that gives a pleasant effect when it ’s applied . All I fuck is I do n’t desire to get hooked on this material .
- = Lip Balm Anonymous has a very nice disavowal at the bottom of their pages , saying : " While our pain and addiction do not obviously compare to the horrors our brothers and sis get from inebriant or narcotics addiction are feel , Lip Balm Anonymous stand those members of other 12 - step plan and no scathe or rebuff is intended by this pageboy . " I thoroughly agree .
