An inhalant is a substance that can be breathed into the lungs to produce an immediate effect. These substances are often volatile and can include gases, aerosols or solvents. Inhalants are typically abused by people of all ages for their mind-altering effects, which can range from feelings of euphoria to dizziness, intoxication, or even hallucinations. Common inhalants include glue, paint thinner, lighter fluid, and nitrous oxide. Inhalant abuse can lead to serious health problems such as brain damage, liver damage, lung damage, and even death from suffocation due to the blocking of airways or sudden sniffing death syndrome.
