Question: Are sniffing whiteout and magic markers illegal?
Answer: Inhaling toxic vapors is commonly referred to as 'Huffing' and it is against the law in Arizona.
It is against the law to knowingly breathe, inhale, or drink a vapor-releasing toxic substance. Common things that fit this definition are glue, spray paint, gasoline, etc.
There are also regulations regarding the sale of inhalants. Using or selling these substances is regarded as a class 5 felony or a class 1 misdemeanor depending on the seriousness of the offense. (ARS 13-3403).
Also see more information on this topic under substances in the LawForKids.org Laws section.

That’s just stupid sniffing propane oil, even if it does smell good to you. That’s my opinion. Did it help you in any way? I think you should go to a doctor about that, because you can get seriously hurt by sniffing it (that is, propane oil) You said it gives you headaches, and that is another reason why you should go to the doctor, and again that is just my opinion. Thank you for giving other people advice that are thinking about starting sniffing markers.
