This practice is also known as "huffing". Very popular among kids, as you said Manny, from 9-15. These products are legal, but when "huffed" are deadly. Some more so than others. Some other products include oven cleaner, rubber/contact cement, PAM cooking spray used to be used, and the propellant in canned whipped cream. (aka "whipits").

Parents-talk to your kids about this. Be sure you know where they are, what they are doing, and who they are with. Be sure your kids know the dangers of huffing and stay away from it and those who do it. It IS drug use/abuse, it CAN and WILL kill you without warning, usually the first or second time. Kids on here...share this info with your freinds. Keep your ears open and keep other kids from doing this. Talk to each other.
