Inhalant Abuse on the Decline among Teens

The number of teens who sniff glue, spray paint, and other inhalants in order to "get high" has gone down in the past few years, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. However, the number of teens experimenting with inhalants is about one million, or 3.9 percent of all teens. About 100,000 are dependent on inhalants.

These statistics are for the year 2007, and represent a decline from the period 2002 to 2007.
