| | Sniffing Correction Fluid Can Stop Your Heart (1991) |
 | | This poster is part of a series in a very different kind of public health campaign inspired by toxic chemicals. |
 | | The inhalant medium, such as correction fluid, markers, or spray paints, is symbolically used to whiteout, color, or coat the part of the body damaged by the fumes. |
 | | In this dimly lighted photograph, for example, the adolescent boy is distinguished by a white spot on his sweatshirt, which symbolizes the accompanying admonition, "Sniffing correction fluid can stop your heart." The caption at the bottom of the poster warns, "If you sniff to get high, you're inhaling poisons that do definite damage. |
