Inhalants

Breathable chemicals that contain amyl and butyl nitrate – found in glue, aerosol products, and lighter fluid – produce vapors, which can alter the mind. Similar in side effects to anesthetics, inhalants can cause unconsciousness, dizziness, and lower heart and breathing rates. Commonly, death can occur as a result of suffocation from a depressed central nervous system response or aspiration from vomiting.
