Solvents
Solvent abuse is the deliberate inhalation of volatile chemicals for the purpose of getting intoxicated or ‘high’ by inhaling the fumes and gases found in everyday products such as cigarette lighter refills and aerosols. Some ‘chronic’ users of gases and solvents can develop a tolerance to the substances so need more to keep achieving the same effects. This may lead to dependence and even psychological addiction.
