Inhalants are household and industrial chemicals, such as paint thinner, that are sometimes “huffed” or inhaled to get high. Young people may experiment with inhalants because they are legal, less expensive than illegal or illicit drugs, and in the house. The effects of regular use can be as harmful to the brain and body as cocaine, leading to mental and physical impairment, addiction, and death.
