Speak Up! - View Question #503 |
 printer friendly version
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.

i sniff markers and i doubt i will stop. it hasnt made me want to try other drugs, it isnt doing any damage to my body, its better than smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol and it doesnt get you high. the effects are too short lived to even consider it a drug of any kind. you'd have to sniff for like 4 hrs straight which i dare someone to even try. you'd get bored after 10mins. so stop complaining and worry about the more dangerous stuff kids are doing (unprotected sex, underrage drinking, marijuana, tobacco...)

Ok...huffing is bad...nothing else needs to be said. However, if you really think about it...all your doing is creating a short in your brain cells...now who would want to kill themselves that way? Now I know one time huffing isn't going to kill anyone right then...but it's basically a "gateway drug". If you take the first step what's going to keep you from taking the second? And those second steps could VERY WELL kill you. Hmmmmm.....sounds dumb to even try it in the first place.
