She & her husband have a 11 mth old baby. While the rest of the family were in the living room, playing with my grandson, my son-in-law went into the bathroom. He was in there for awhile. When he came out my daughter went in. She immediately asked him why it smelled like carbon. Then she found a canister of butane hidden under a towel. Appparently he was huffing it. Does anyone know what kind of damage he is doing to himself?

Major damage to brain cells and lungs, etc. He had better get some help for this, sounds like he may have a history of this kind of thing. When he's stressed, he probably reaches for anything to relieve the stress, that's an addictive behavior.

Hello,
The only thing I know about this huffing or sniffing is what I have seen on documentaries back in the 90's I think is when it came out here in America. Or in the public light.
It used to be something poor people did and third world countries, so the documentaries said.
It can kill a person. We had a boy die here in Oregon a year or so back because of this. Sad way of going I think.
Get the son in law some drug counseling.
Wish you and yours well!

you should talk to your son in law and try to get help also.
This hurt his brain development and his brain cells! It's killing them! You don't want that to be tampered with...

Tell your daughter now, if nothing is done, child protective services. It strains the relationship but oh well.
