The addiction is so powerful from huffing, that the victum doesn't really believe it can happen. They always think it will not happen to them. How sad, that they don't have the will power to quit. I saw a young man with paint around his mouth and nose. He denied anything in regards to the huffing. It is one of the most dangerous ways to live. The fumes and even small particles, of paint go into the lungs and with the combination of lung failure , brain failure it eventually stops the heart. How sad.

people huff because they can get "high" and still pass a drug test. I worked at a store that sold "Video head cleaner".... I had GI's, Electricians, truck drivers and old people buy the stuff on a regular basis.. and they were NOT cleaning VCR's.... scary huh! Somtimes people use it to enhance sexual gratification. I dont agree with it.. I think it dumb too. But "huffing" doesnt show up in a pee test or a breathalizer. sad but true

For a quick high that they think is safe. They don't actually believe THEY are gonna die or that they are killing brain cells. They also do it because it is accessible and cheap! This should be treated as any other addiction, it changes the chemistry of their brain, and is addictive.

Same reason they drive like idiots with the music so loud they can't hear anything (including sirens!) and do other dope, and smoke and drink way too much. They don't realize "they" could die. It's always someone else - they don't think it can get them.

The reason why is because they think it makes them look cool when they really should know if they had a mirror that sees your insides U.G.L.Y. they won't have healthy lungs inside!

Remember when you were a teen.
Did you ever think something could kill YOU.
Teens are indestructable, they think. And sure things can happen...to the other person.
Get it.
Remember.

For the same reason people do drugs or alcohol. Temp. high. They don't think anything can hurt them or they don't care.

Because young people don't think they can die... but are curious to see what it might be like.
