Using inhalants is harmless.
You can stay high from huffing for up to an hour.

No one will notice if I use an inhalant.

Nobody ever died from using inhalants.

I can stop any time I want.
Nope. That’s false. Using inhalants cuts down on the amount of oxygen your brain gets. It makes your blood pressure drop and blood vessels get bigger. You can get nauseous, vomit, have dizziness and fall, get bad headaches, and be extremely tired.#Top
Yes. This is true. Even though the high you get passes in a few minutes, there are cases where kids have remained high for up to an hour. So don’t think you can use it and then do something like drive or play sports. You could wind up getting badly hurt.#Top
Maybe, Maybe not. Using inhalants can become habit forming. And it’s not just because of your body getting used to the drugs. Getting addicted also means that you get used to something that makes you “feel good” and need to have it to get through the day. And every day you need more and more until it doesn’t work anymore and you need a harder drug to make you “feel good”.
