Do you believe in these things? If they were candy, they'd be some of the best cherry candy out there, although they supposedly serve a medicinal purpose: soothing irritating throats and reducing coughing. They probably don't hurt anything, although I also have a feeling that they're only slightly more powerful than a placebo.
Fun Fact: When I was six years old, I ate a couple of Luden's cough drops even though I wasn't remotely sick. Fortunately, this was not a gateway to a life of drug abuse.
