Is It Possible to Have a Physical Addiction to Chapstick?

Question by JBR: Is it possible to have a physical addiction to chapstick?
For the past 7 years or so, I need to have chapstick on me at all times. I put chapstick on at least 8 times or more a day. I can tell when my lips need hydrating. I’m pretty sure I have a mental addiction to it because if I leave the house without chapstick, I will have to go somewhere to buy some or come back home. Can your lips become conditioned to need the chapstick?

don’t try carmex or you might one day be homeless and muttering in the gutter.
