Inhalants
Inhalants "Inhalants are volatile substances that produce chemical vapors that can be inhaled to induce a psychoactive, or mind-altering, effect. “http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/inhalant -abuse/what-are-inhalants” Inhalants are not natural, they are man made in factories. There are four main types of inhalants which are volatile solvents, gases, aerosols, and nitrites. Some examples of these are household products such as glue, paint thinner, and aerosol cans. Inhalants such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) are used for medical purposes which put a person to sleep. Other than that there are no real medical uses for inhalants. Some ways Inhalants can be used are "sniffing" or "snorting" fumes from containers; spraying aerosols directly into the nose or mouth; "bagging" — sniffing or inhaling fumes from substances sprayed or deposited inside a plastic or paper bag; "huffing" from an inhalant-soaked rag stuffed in the mouth; and inhaling from balloons filled with nitrous oxide. “http://www.drugabuse.gov/pub lications/research-reports/inhalant-abuse/how-are-inhalants-used”
