Inhalants are intoxicative drugs whose gases or vapors are breathed in and cause a short-lived high that produces intoxication and psychoactive effects. Often called huffing, this dangerous drug abuse kills brain cells and can cause death. Within this book learn about the long and short-term effects of inhalants which include physical addiction, emotional addiction, expense, health problems, arrest for possession and for other drug-related crime and overdose. Personal stories of teens who used drugs and the realities they faced unfold along with advice on how to deal with peer pressure when choosing to say no. There is also an entire chapter devoted to getting help. With so many reasons to avoid drug addiction, one thing is clear: Drug use is not something one should ever get involved with.
