S2 DRUG EDUCATION VOLATILE SUBSTANCES

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT VOLATILE SUBSTANCES? VOLATILE SUBSTANCES IS THE NAME GIVEN TO A GROUP OF PRODUCTS, OFTEN HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, THAT CONTAIN CHEMICALS WHICH, IF DELIBERATELY INHALED CAN CAUSE INTOXICATION.

WHAT IS ‘SNIFFING’? ‘Sniffing’ is when everyday household products are breathed in on purpose to get ‘high’. These products include: aerosols, glues, gases, petrol. When these products are used for their correct use they are perfectly safe but when ‘sniffed’ can be deadly. There is no such thing as ‘safe sniffing’.

SOME EXAMPLES OF VOLATILE SUBSTANCES: AEROSOLS – DEODERANTS, HAIR SPRAY GLUES NAIL-VARNISH REMOVERS CIGARETTE LIGHTER-REFILLS

WHAT’S IN DANGER? Your mind Your body Your life All these are at risk

EFFECTS OF VOLATILE SUBSTANCES – YOUR BODY Effects are often experienced within a matter of minutes. Effects can include: Dizzy Smelly breath High Light headed Drowsy Sick Blackout Clumsy Acting drunk

YOUR MIND Sometimes paranoia, fear, anxiety, lack of control, concentration, violence and aggression and auditory and visual hallucinations can occur.

YOUR LIFE Solvents can kill instantly at anytime INSTANT DEATH - some people experience a fatal toxic reaction to the chemicals they take and die Trauma accidents Heart failure Suffocation/asphyxiation Nausea and unconsciousness

HEALTH IMPLICATIONS According to the Drug Education Forum “At an average of one death every four weeks, volatile substance abuse (VSA) is responsible for more deaths amongst young people than illegal drugs”.
