Description
Inhalants are common household and workplace substances that are
sniffed or huffed to give the user an immediate head rush or high.
They include a diverse group of chemicals that are found in consumer
products such as aerosols plastic cement, fingernail polish remover,
lighter fluid, hair spray, insecticides and cleaning solvents.
USE
Sniffing highly concentrated amounts of the chemicals in solvents or
aerosol sprays can directly induce heart failure and death. High
concentrations of inhalants also cause death from suffocation by
displacing oxygen in the lungs and then in the central nervous
system so that breathing stops.
Dangers and Effects
People who use inhalants get a quick, giddy head rush. They are
cheap and or readily available making them an easy choice for those
who use them. Users feel slightly stimulated and uninhibited, but
within a minute or two, a major headache comes on (the first
indication that this is a bad idea). Hallucinations and numb hands
and feet are often part of the package. Suffocation and sudden death
can occur even on the first time.
