Kids huffing Gas

Kids huffing Gas

I read a story in my local newspaper where the big thing lately is kids sucking in gas fumes from the gas pipe on cars. Supposedly it gives them a quick high. I wonder if they understand how stupid and dangerous this is? I mean, couldn't something like this kill someone instantly if ingested too much?

This was on the news a few years back because some dumb kid went into a coma from doing this. I don't understand this one. I can see sneaking into your parent's liquor cabinet (not that I am condoning that), but this just almost seems like playing Russian Roullette.

It doesn't even get you high, it just screws with your brain and makes you dizzy. And because your inhaling something that's highly toxic, it could kill you instantly, or, if you smoke, cause a fire to run up your nose. Now that's a scary thought.

Ah this is something I was actually watching the other night in my city, there were a group of kids all doing this and yep just going extremely dizzy and starting to feel extremely sick, what was even worse was one of them was actually driving and he was also doing it, it was sickening because whether he gets high or not from it, hes then driving his car around the city after inhaling it, they were also rubbing it across each others face!

I'm pretty sure that what they do is huff the fumes from the exhaust pipe deep into their lungs without actually huffing in the gas. It's some pretty gross stuff if you ask me.
