Solvent Abuse (Glue Sniffing)
Many solvents have effects rather
like alcohol or the anaesthetics used
in hospitals. They are present in glue,
paints, typewriter correction fluids,
and lighter fuels.
Inhaling the fumes may cause some
"drunkeness". Overdose may result in
loss of conciousness and even death.
Many solvent abusers are still at
school. Most do not persist with the
habit for very long.
The most serious risks are from
accidents occuring during the "drunk"
state and from suffocation or overdose.
