These vapors are contained in common products found right in the home and are among the most popular and deadly substances kids abuse. Although young people are exposed to volatile solvents and other inhalants everyday, many do not think of these "inhalable" substances as drugs because most of the products were never meant to be used in that way.

A report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the National Inhalant Prevention Coalition (NIPC) reveals that 17% of kids ages 12-17 started using drugs by sniffing household products.
