More and more problems are becoming evident as more and more substances are being inhaled in our society. Gas and Glue were the most common substances and there is a long history of people inhaling or "huffing" these substances to get high. More recently, a variety of substances are being sprayed, poured or squeezed into a bag and inhaled for the high or "wah-wah" effect. These substances include solvents, hairspray, cleaning solutions and aerosols. This type of drug abuse is common for individuals looking to get high in any way available.
Unfortunately, almost all of these substances cause brain damage almost immediately. The fumes go directly to the front of the brain and start to cause damage. It doesn't take long for inhalants to cause damage that is irreversible.
