About this resource
Discover in detail what inhalants are and how huffing negatively impacts your body with our new prevention pamphlet! This trifold includes short-term and long-term effects, withdrawal symptoms, and more.
Learn how inhalants are substances that produce chemical vapors that when breathed in induce a mind-altering effect. While there are other drugs that can be breathed in, this term is used for huffing chemicals found in a common household, industrial, and medical products not intended to be sniffed or used any other way than directed. This includes a broad range of toxic chemicals, many of which can be found around the house (such as cleaning products or aerosol sprays). When used improperly, inhaling chemicals are poisonous and can cause harm to the body.
Each Inhalants: Toxins in the Air pamphlet includes the following information:
- General definitions and the four different categories chemical fumes fall into (volatile solvents, aerosols, gases, nitrites)
- Addresses how inhalants are harmful and can cause permanent damage (ex: Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome)
- Shares statistics on emergency room visits and hospitalizations due to huffing
- Describes what happens to the body after someone inhales a chemical
- Lists short and long term toxic effects inhalants can have, mentally and physically
- Signs to look for when determining if someone is huffing hazardous chemicals

- Additional resource for readers to find more help and information
- A personalization area for you to place a custom message and/or your organization’s logo
