Well, my son isn't addicted to coffee. We only gave it to him during his colds that brought on his asthma. Once I started him on oregano oil, his asthma went away, never to return. That has been years ago, and he doesn't drink coffee anymore. He liked it as much as I did when he was able to drink it though. I'm sure he'd have become addicted if he had asthma continually, and not just when he caught colds.
