I used it when I was young...used on my kids when they were young...but I only applied on their chests and behind the ears (old folks directive). Sniff if necessary but never apply onto the nostrils because they found it “spicy” (prickly) 

nowadays I only drink warm water or Zyrtec Rapid to clear nasal congestion 

when I have nasal congestion, its meds + nose spray.

This practice used to be quite common in the 80s and 90s. In recent years hardly see anyone doing it except lao uncles. 

I remember that there's an advertisment on vicks applying on the nose and chest during the 80s.  Perhaps that's the reason why people follow suit.

That means another million dollars suit coming for Vick's.... Just like Johnson powder.
