Inhalants

PRODUCT SUMMARY

It's tragic, but true: Sniffing readily available household products kills. Inhalants explains the dangers of breathing in toxic substances with animations and graphics that illustrate what happens to the brain and body when it is exposed to poisons. Because no matter what you call it -- sniffing, huffing, ragging -- inhaling chemical fumes to get high is breathing poison. Students will learn of the extreme danger from the vapors of volatile solvents and will hear the terrifying stories of kids whose lives were lost because they weren't aware of the deadly ramifications of inhalants. A segment illustrates how abusing gases like nitrous oxide is far from a laughing matter.
