Inhalation Abuse
	Inhalation Abuse is a problem that we take seriously. Inhalant use refers to the intentional breathing of gas or vapors with the purpose of reaching a high. Inhalants are legal, everyday products, which have a useful purpose, but can be misused. You're probably familiar with many of these substances - paint, glue and others. But you probably don't know that there are more than 1,000 products that are very dangerous when inhaled - things like typewriter correction fluid, air-conditioning refrigerant, felt tip markers, spray paint, air freshener, butane and even cooking spray. We are not experts on Inhalation abuse, therefore, we have added this button to our web site to refer you to valuable links that can help you find information that you need to begin your research on this topic.

The aerosol design of a refillable spray can dubbed the “bug bomb”, was patented in 1943, and is the ancestor of many popular commercial spray products. Pressurized by liquefied gas, which gave it propellant qualities, the small, portable can enabled soldiers to defend against malaria-carrying bugs by spraying inside tents in the Pacific during World War II. In 1948, three companies were granted licenses by the United States government to manufacture aerosols.
