Is it bad to take cough drops when your not sick,

[IloveYou a]

just cause they taste good? Is it bad to take them cause they taste good.

[kedrick g]

no it is however better than smoking

[Peace Yo]

They are loaded with sugar. It's about as healthy as eating candy. Eat them in moderation.

[Wine and Window Guy]

I doubt it, but dang most are disgusting.

[browniesgirl_2006]

...I don't think so. Heck, I eat Ludents Cherry ones like candy. All the rest of them are kinds gross, though. Like Halls?? yiickk.

[Ookpik]

Ugh, there are way better tasting candies....they won't hurt, but you don't need them....

[Senior08]

i don't think so. i eat them all the time

[corruption4423]

I would say if your popping like 20 a day then maybe but I dont see how a couple could do anything...

[DemonSlayer06]

nope not at all in till you relized that you dont have any more till it is to late then you really are sick lol

[i got it haha]

yes, because there medicine in them and if you take them and your not sick, you may grow immune to them and when you really are sick then they wont help.

[~Shortstuff~]

Not really but why don't you buy some Life Savers or Werther's, etc.

[LeeAnn W]

well you can get addicted to the ones that have menthol in them. I personally like the Ludens cherry ones. They just have a lot of sugar. I dont think you would get any harm but it is a lot of unnecessary sugar.

[Mercer Devil]

I wouldn't recommend it. Your body could develop a tolerance to the active ingredients. Then, if you did have a cough or sore throat, the cough drops and any medications with the same ingredients would not be as effective.

[JustAskMe:)]

I hope not, i just need them for my emphazemaui

[JonnaRiley]

no most don`t have medicine . -

It's bad. One is prone to habit formation which may cause addiction in large dosage.

[myfri3ndshipf0ru]

A cough drop is a small, medicated candy intended to be dissolved slowly in the mouth to lubricate and soothe irritated tissues of the throat (usually due to a sore throat), possibly from the common cold or influenza.Still other varieties contain little more than menthol or peppermint oil and spearmint as their active ingredient, further blurring the line between candy and coughdrops.Most cough drops should be taken in moderation, due to the fact that some active ingredients could be hazardous to the health if consumed in large amounts.So basically it depends, what kind of cough drops do you take.

I don' think it's bad,but its a sure cure for some bad breath as well as a cure for a dry throat.
