Inhalants

  • Inhalants are chemical vapors that produce mind-altering effects when users inhale them by sniffing or snorting.
  • Teenagers and young adults account for a large portion of the inhalant abuse.
  • Side effects include: dizziness, strong hallucinations, delusions, belligerence, weight loss, disorientation, depression.
  • Chronic abuse may cause brain damage.
  • Death may occur from a single use or after prolonged use.
  • SSD (sudden sniffing death) may result within minutes of inhalant abuse.
