    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.

    Somebody from Othr said:
    Okay well first off, sniffing whiteout is bad for you and also the other thing is i did it once but it really didnt do much and i felt so sick afterwards. especially how many ppl tho are saying that its nto that bad, obviously it is. if you read the back of the container or w/e it says that you may die or w/e like honestly i would not consider doing it even if you get high. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE HIGH TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE. well i just think that if anyone is thinking about it htat they shouldnt. i found that it wasnt addicting but thats my opionion. i dont even think someone will endupreadingthis.
