Question

What are some interesting facts about the inhalant, aerosol products?

Answer 1

Inhalants are chemical vapors that you can sniff or inhale which usually come from household products. Inhalants will hit your bloodstream, entering the brain and causing psychoactive effects. The high usually washes over the user within five minutes, and usually doesn’t last up to one hour. Sometimes inhaling is known as “huffing”. Some inhalant street names are whippets, poppers and snappers. The age group which generally uses inhalants are teens, for lack of being able to either get their hands on or afford something else. Inhalants are easy to access because most of the time they are right inside the person’s home. The way inhalants are used is either by “huffing” which is breathing in from a cloth that the substance has been poured on, inhaling straight out of the container or from a bag that has the substance inside of it.
