You can get messed up from huffing all kinds of common chemicals, from gasoline to paint, solvents, and the compressed air used to clean electronics. Huffing is generally not a fun experience though. Depending on the chemical, you might feel dizzy, disoriented, and uncoordinated, but few report feeling “awesome and cool.” Studies of longer-term effects of huffing indicate habitual users suffer damage to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain, but you can die from huffing quickly, too, a phenomenon called “sudden sniffing death syndrome.”
