Summary

You can buy many of them in the supermarket-so how dangerous can inhalants be? Very. Just ask the parents of Kyle Williams, or of Dave, whose portrait hangs in an exhibition about the dangers of using drugs. Both boys died as a result of using inhalants. Inhalants and Solvents: Sniffing Disaster tells the story of these two individuals as well as others who have sniffed, bagged, or ingested inhalants in other forms. You'll also learn how inhalants and solvents act on the brain and body, producing the feelings sought by their users. Treatment can be difficult for those who abuse inhalants and solvents, but Inhalants and Solvents: Sniffing Disaster provides you with factual and up-to-date information about how to live a life free of abuse.
