It is called
huffing and it has rapidly become one of the most popular methods for teens to
get high. Despite the numerous risks, including brain damage, it is estimated that
1.1 million adolescents inhale lethal substances like freon and butane each
year. In addition to brain damage, huffing can lead to kidney, lung and bone
problems as well as an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. According to
the National Inhalant Prevention Coalition, there are certain telltale signs,
including red or runny eyes, spots or sores around the mouth, chemical body
odor, nausea, anxiety and stains on the body or clothing. The latest reports
find that teen girls are more likely to abuse inhalants. Obviously, these are
important issues. You need to learn as much as you possibly can.
