Inhalant use: Is your child at risk?

What's the best way to prevent inhalant use?

To prevent inhalant use, talk about it openly. Be aware of what your child is doing and stay involved in his or her life.

  • Discuss the risks. Honest discussion can help prevent a tragedy. Talk about what products can be abused and slang terms for inhalants. Emphasize that inhalants are deadly chemicals — not a harmless way to get high.
  • Review school supplies. When possible, substitute water-based products for solvent-based products.
