Huffing: prehospital identification & treatment of inhalant abuse.
Sniffing. Huffing. Bagging. These street terms describe methods of inhaling toxic chemicals to achieve mind-altering states of intoxication or euphoria. Just about anything in the house that comes in spray form can be used as an inhalant.
