Sniffing Chemicals
Is Sniffing Chemicals such as disinfectants, cleansers and shampoos considered substance abuse?
Absolutely, its called huffing. Huffing is extremely dangerous, being absorbed through your lungs getting to your brain in a more concentrated fashion and quicker. Huffing can be more addictive, more dangerous, and much more harmful then many different drugs that are obviously abused substances. Another one not listed is the sniffing of markers. Thats why so many of them are made with no harmful chemicals in them so that kids can't get ahold of them and sniff them to get high.
