What are the most common kinds of inhalants?

Well, I just love to inhale the air we all breathe. It's definitely more comon than glue, paint or other chemicals that people get high on.

Glue or spraypaint.

The most common inhalants are bronchodialators such as ventolin. Many times first line of intervention. Open up the airways! Medically speaking. I like the fella above me ..the air we breath>mixture of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, water, argon, carbon dioxide and trace gases

Inhalants are a diverse group of organic solvents, volatile substances, and propellant gases that are intentionally concentrated and inhaled for their psychoactive effects, which range from an alcohol-like intoxication to hallucinations. Inhalant drugs are often used by children, teenagers, incarcerated or institutionalized people, and impoverished people, because these solvents and gases are ingredients in hundreds of legally-available, inexpensive products, such as aerosol spray cans, adhesives and rubber cements, deodorant sprays, hair spray, air fresheners, gasoline, lighter fluid, paint, and paint thinner.

Inhalant drugs can be harmful for users because they were not intended for human inhalation in a concentrated form. Some inhalant users are injured or killed due to the effects of inhaling these solvents or gases themselves, which can cause hypoxia (lack of oxygen (e.g., if a plastic bag sticks to a user's face), pneumonia, cardiac failure or arrest, or aspiration of vomit. Other inhalant users are injured due to the harmful effects of other chemicals used in these products, such as burns from gasoline vapour, or due to dangerous behaviour while they are intoxicated on these drugs.

Most inhalant solvents and gases are not regulated under illegal drug laws such as the United States' Controlled Substances Act. However, many US states and Canadian cities have placed restrictions on the sale of some solvent-containing products to minors, particularly for products widely associated with "sniffing", such as model cement. The practice of inhaling such substances is sometimes colloquially referred to as huffing, sniffing (or "glue-sniffing") or chroming.

Thank you for asking that question! I don't have the answer, but I can provide a website for the National Inhalant Prevention Coalition. I believe that March is the month where a whole week is dedicated to educating the public about the dangers of inhalant use (Inhalants and Poisons Awareness Week). .Inhalants, the household or industrial products that kids and teens (typical age range) will inhale such as glue, paint, gasoline, air freshener, and/or aerosol spray cans, to get a cheap and quick high are not only deadly but can be permanently disabling. A person can die or get irreparable brain damage even after 'just' One time!

A friend of mine has a traumatic brain injury (tbi) and other permanent damage including damage to her bone marrow which is the fatty inner lining of the bones. Inhalant use literally dissolves the brain tissue and can cause long-term effects including (but not limited to) severe difficulty with speaking, hearing, understanding, reasoning, perception, judgement, numbness in limbs, limb spasms. The list is way longer but it is just a senseless and needless way to ruin one's life and loved ones. Hopefully you are doing a paper on inhalant use and others can learn about the true consequences of such a treacherous and reckless behavior. My friend sends out a letter about her damage to schools and such. Please take good care.
