| Abstract | Many young people think inhalants cause no harm because they are everyday items bought by parents, sold in stores, and even advertised on television. The chemicals in the inhalant vapors, however, are poisons. They can change the way the brain works and harm other parts of the body. New users are typically between the ages of twelve and fifteen. This narrative explains the harmful effects of chemicals on a teen's body and mind. Steps for helping a person who is in a state of crisis are described, as well as detoxification, rehabilitation, and methods for avoiding relapse. |
