Volatile substance abuse (VSA) comprises inhalation of volatile compounds in chemical products – such as glues, paints, spray deodorants and fuels – for their psychoactive effects. These substances are derided as a cheap high and use is stigmatised in comparison to other drugs.
Some every-day products that are used for sniffing include:
- Deodorant
- Air Freshener
- Lighter Fluid
- Fly Spray
- Petrol
