It is very toxic, and you are endangering your health. Please stop! Please find a help line if there is no one you feel you can speak to, or seek out assistance from your family doctor.

rubbing alcohol is a drying agent. When you sniff the fumes, they enter the nose, mouth, and back of the throat and may enter the lungs drying out the mucus membranes. Over time and continued use, some destruction of the membranes may occur in all these areas, including the lungs. Once destruction of the lungs and accompaning bronchus have occured, it may never recover leaving you with some very severe upper respiratory disease. See a doctor or check out rehab for this addiction before you compromise your life any more than you have.

I agree with everyone. YOU WILL DIE if you continue down this road. I watched a program the other day about huffing & these people who were born healthy ended up being "mentally retarded" (no offense, just wasn't sure the proper way to say it). Their muscles were "rubbery", eyes almost cross-eyed & I can't even begin to describe what their minds were like. Oh, by the way, their homes were in a cardboard box on the street!! They actually started their lives in a middle-class upbringing too. PLEASE STOP THE HUFFING - PLEASE STOP!!!!! May God Bless you & help you through this!! People CARE about you!!!
