The Main 4 Ways of Huffing Paint

• Huffing: putting the substance in a cloth and pressing to the mouth
  
• Bagging: pouring the contents into a bag and inhaling through the bag opening
  
• Sniffing or snorting: inhaling the fumes directly from the container
  
• Spraying: just what it sounds like – spraying the substance directly into the nose or mouth

The active chemical in huffing is toluene, a toxic chemical that, according to the Journal of Drug and Alcohol Research, is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and initially appears to produce an excited and euphoric response.

Inhalant abuse is most common among children and youths who do not have the means to obtain other types of drugs. However, adults are also known to use inhalants to get high. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates that about 527,000 people 12 or older reported using inhalants in 2015. The majority of these people were between the ages of 12 and 17, representing about 0.7 percent of those in this age range.
