Answer to Question 1

Even occasional or a single instance of inhalant abuse can be extremely dangerous. The effects include alcohol-like intoxication, euphoria, hallucinations, drowsiness, disinhibition, light-headedness, headaches, dizziness, slurred speech, agitation, loss of sensation, belligerence, depressed reflexes, impaired judgment, and unconsciousness. Users may also be injured by the harmful effects of the vapors and detrimental intoxication behavior. More serious consequences may include suffocation due to lack of oxygen supply, pneumonia, vomit aspiration, organ damage (brain, liver, kidneys), abnormal heart rhythms, and sudden cardiac death.
