My nose has been bleeding for 3 days.
Working on art...not an addiction.

Could chronic exposure cause cancer and ulcers in your nose? It is believed that any cellular damage increases the risk of cancer, so yes it is hazardous. Have you read the can's warnings? What does it say? Do you think "use with adequate ventillation" is written there for fun? Ask the company for a MSDS. Wear a mask. Use ventillation. I doubt if acute exposure would have caused the nose bleed, but if you just figured you could poison yourself and not suffer later then shame on you. Maybe it did damage your mucus membranes. An organic vapor mask would be best (but expensive and so are the replacement filters) but even a dust mask would filter out some of the mist (but not the vapors and gasses).

That used to happen to my son when he was working on his art projects in the basement. He got really bad headaches and nosebleeds. He started painting his stuff in the garage after that.
Inhaling spray paint is HIGHLY toxic. From now on, make sure you're in a well ventilated area when using it, and buy good industrial strength particulate filter masks from an art supply store or a paint/hardware store. Do not continue to expose yourself to these fumes. If your nose continues to bleed...you know what you have to do.

It's very hazardous. That is why professionals work in booths with proper ventilation equipment.
If your nose has been bleeding for three days, can you imagine what you have done to the isides of your lungs in the delicate bronchial tissue and alveoli?
Honey, you need to get to a doctor and fast.

Better do something to avoid the inhalation or you won't be working on your art for very long. Seriously, you can cause major lung and brain damage.

Go back to where you bought the paint and ask for a MSDS on the product it will tell you all the dangers and what to do if you have a health problem related to the product.

Go to urgent care or ER and get this looked at. Also wear a respirator mask from here on in when working your project.

You should start to wear a heavy-duty mask if the paint is making your nose bleed.

Depending on level of exposure, it can make you feel dizzy, nauseous, cause brain damage or even kill you in large quantities.
