Do kids get high using Nicotine Polacrilex Oral lozenge?

Nicotine isn't very good for getting high. Increased doses tend to make you uncomfortable and jittery, and too much will cause severe symptoms, even death. We can't imagine that it would be pleasant enough to pursue more than once, although some people will go to ridiculous lengths chasing mood-altering experiences.

The most common "off label" use of nicotine gum is to allow a person to have nicotine without smoking or other more obvious sources.

Can you get addicted to laxatives?

Laxatives can be addictive, however, not in the same way as a narcotic drug or cigarettes. The more you use laxatives the more your bowel movements will become dependent on them. A bottle may recommend taking only 2 tablets. However, after prolonged use, you will have to take more for them to work. Fairly soon you will be taking handfuls and up to a few bottles of laxatives in order to have a bowel movement. With prolonged use you will become completely dependent on laxatives in order to have a bowel movement, and you can cause yourself to become constipated permanently.

What are the symptoms of OCD a.k.a obsessive Cullen Disorder?

Everyone takes the mick out of this disease, but it is serious, and some people get severely depressed by it. I would say there are a few symptoms, but some are more obvious than others. Personally, I feel that it should be called O.E.D (obsessive Edward disorder) as most of the people I talk to are more addicted to him, and not all of the Cullens.....so here is my take.

SYMPTOMS OF OBSESSIVE CULLEN DISORDER--

1. You think of Edward Cullen at least once every half an hour.

2. You are married/taken and perhaps even with child and over 25 and yet still get depressed that Edward Cullen will never be yours.

3.Sometimes you feel literally distraught that you will probably never have someone as protective and loving as Edward Cullen, not many people would die for you.

4. You have an I love Edward Cullen t-shirt. (Or the likes.)

5. When you went to see Breaking Dawn, if you have seen it already, you hated the fact that Bella is going to get forever with Edward and you only get a few minutes in fantasyland.

6. You talk about him often, and share your dismays to friends and family even that he will never ever be yours.

7. You don't fancy Robert Pattinson, you fancy Edward Cullen.

8. You feel utterly heartbroken and devastated that Edward is fictional, and your future seems bleak.
