What Are Inhalants?
Inhalants are substances that an individual uses to get high, and they include a variety of toxic household and office chemicals. These substances are inhaled or “huffed”, causing an individual to experience instant, intense “high” feelings as they cut off the oxygen supply to the brain.
Inhalant substances may include:
- Paint
- Paint thinner
- Aerosol sprays
- Computer duster
- Nail polish remover
- Propane
- Gasoline
- Aerosol spray substances
- Cleaning fluids
- Glue
Signs of Inhalant Abuse and Addiction
It is crucial to be able to identify signs of inhalant abuse and addiction if you suspect a loved one is using inhalants.
Signs and symptoms of inhalant use include:
- Disorientation
- Appearing drunk or out of it
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Visual issues
- Chemical-smell in sweat
- Bloody noses
- Runny nose
- Paint or other chemical stains on clothing, fingers, or face

Long-term inhalant use can result in a variety of physical and psychological complications. Not only do the drugs cause damage, but the lifestyle associated with addiction does as well. Addicts may experience asthma, sinusitis, HIV or AIDS, tuberculosis, or STDS. Psychological complications may include anxiety, depression, inhalant-induced psychosis, neurocognitive disorders, or delirium.
