About journalism -- A large and irreverent collection of quotes Several years passed before glue sniffing in particular and drug abuse in general among the young became recognized as a social problem. In 1959, I was on rewrite duty for the Miami Herald when the police reporter called to report, along with the usual car accidents and gambling raids, that police were encountering a new form of drug abuse: teenagers sniffing the fumes of model airplane glue from paper bags. Never having heard of such a thing, I dismissed the matter as unimportant and didn't bother the city desk with it. www.morrock.com /newsdef.htm   (8463 words)

How to launch a nationwide drug menace [Free Republic] Paint-thinner sniffing, varnish-remover sniffing, cigarette-lighter-fluid sniffing, glue-sniffing, and the others were not-very-common phenomena to which no one paid much attention. Thus, while it is likely that children (and adults as well) sniffed glue on occasion before 1959, the practice either went unobserved or, more probably, was not deemed worthy of recording. Seeing the world as hostile and pain-inflicting, he tended to withdraw into passive, immature forms of behavior." Patient Number 3 was a fourteen-year-old whose father had died when he was five, "and he had been taken out of the custody of his alcoholic mother but subsequently had been returned to her. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a3a6723510c7a.htm   (8463 words)

Iraq Diaries: Glue and the Circus Even as you told them that sniffing glue was no good for them, you wondered whether, in their position, you wouldn’t do exactly the same — fill your head with a solvent that made the ground feel less hard.

Sniffing Your Life Away (inhalant abuse) Organize with other teens to involve the media, retailers, schools, churches, health care providers, civic and volunteer organizations, elected officials, and law enforcement community to stop kids from sniffing. Everyday products like glue, paint, lighter fluid, fingernail polish, permanent markers, WiteOut®, deodorants, and anything in an aerosol can are sniffed to get a rapid and dangerous high. While this type of substance abuse may seem harmless because the products are not legally classified as drugs, they are deadly chemicals and poisons. www.ci.mesa.az.us /POLICE/literature/sniffing_life_away.asp   (1390 words)

West Yorkshire Trading Standards - VSA Teachers Resources VSA is often referred to as "solvent abuse" or "sniffing" but the correct definition is the inhalation of volatile chemicals found in many everyday products, such as solvent-based adhesives (glue-sniffing), butane gas (cigarette lighter refills), aerosols (where it is the propellant, often butane, that is inhaled), and numerous other products. Many of the signs of VSA are difficult to distinguish from the normal behavior of adolescents, however a combination of several factors may indicate a sniffing problem: Substances such as cleaning products, or art materials such as spray paints, may also attract potential abusers and school staff should make every effort to ensure that such substances cannot be accessed by pupils, and that their use within school activities is supervised. www.ts.wyjs.org.uk /vsateachers.htm   (1911 words)

e-MDs Products Patient Education - INHALANT ABUSE Inhalant Inhalant abuse, (also called solvent abuse, huffing, sniffing, glue sniffing, or volatile substance abuse), is the practice of purposely breathing poisonous vapors into the lungs. Inhalants can be abused in a number of ways such as sniffing or inhaling them directly from their containers; breathing them in after they are sprayed into a bag or empty soft drink can; or spraying or pouring them directly on a cloth and inhaling them from the fabric. Children often abuse inhalants because they can create a stimulating and short "high", are inexpensive, easy to obtain, and not illegal to possess. www.e-mds.com /healthinfo_view/i_00000007FJ   (382 words)

Inhalant Abuse by Children The abuse of inhalants is also called solvent abuse, huffing, sniffing, glue sniffing, or volatile substance abuse. Inhalants exit the body mainly through exhaling, which is why an inhalant abuser's breath often smells like chemicals.

As part of the Manuelito Project, Jorge Pinto and his staff offer street kids a plate of food in exchange for their jars of glue, which they sniff to get high.

Beavis and Butt-Head He was working on a homemade cartoon in which the protagonists, a couple of glue-sniffing pubescents named Beavis and Butt-Head, attend a monster-truck "thrashaton," a spectacular orgy of destruction in a football stadium full of frenzied men. What about hanging their friend Stewart by his underpants, goosing him with an egg beater and blowing up his kitchen while sniffing stove gas? Beavis and Butt-Head's universe is much less complete - or perhaps more left to the imagination - that that of the Simpsons, who are, for all their dysfunction, a traditional nuclear family, descended structurally from Ozzie and Harriet. www.beavis-butthead.ru /yellow_articles_107.html   (2684 words)

UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1994 Issue 2 - 006 Volatile substance abuse (VSA) (glue sniffing, inhalant abuse, solvent abuse), the deliberate inhalation of volatile substances in order to achieve intoxication, has now been reported from most parts of the world, mainly among adolescents, individuals living in remote communities and those whose occupations give ready access to abusable substances. Often it is other problems which first need attention, and until these are dealt with the abuser may not be able or willing to give up sniffing, even if he or she recognizes the harm VSA is doing. Secondly, volatile substances are often the first intoxicant tried by young people, and thus may act as a gateway drug leading to other forms of substance abuse [ [ 55 ] - [ 57 ] ]. www.unodc.org /unodc/bulletin/bulletin_1994-01-01_2_page007.html   (2684 words)

document pages "Substance abuse, including paint and glue sniffing, is dangerous and can even be fatal," says Michael Hambrook, Executive Director of the Australian Paint Manufacturers' Federation responding to recent media reports of youths sniffing aerosol solvents. Because volatile substances, whether they be petrol, adhesives, or paints, are so easily obtained, information about how to sniff or what to sniff can be readily put into practice. The Committee found that the primary causes of experimentation with volatile substances were curiosity and peer pressure. www.apmf.asn.au /html/document_pages_23.html   (452 words)

LewRockwell.com Blog: Leo Carter? Posted by Thomas DiLorenzo at June 20, 2003 08:34 AM Regarding the comment contributed by Karen from the man who believes Jimmy Carter was the father of neoconservativism, I note that one of the first remarks listed after that post is to implore the author of the comment to please cease writing "while sniffing glue"! Anyone who believes this, however (glue sniffers included) has to deal with the conclusion of Shadia Drury's scholarly, 239-page book, Leo Strauss and the American Right : "[N]eoconservatism is the legacy of Leo Strauss. blog.lewrockwell.com /lewrw/archives/000365.html   (320 words)

MCT home page While his younger brother was still in school, Noel, whose country-and-western DJ father had purchased a guitar for him at age 11, discovered punk, and like many of his peers happily engaged in truancy, burglary and glue-sniffing.

That's all very well, but it doesn't wash with this well-travelled rock writer: Maximo Gomez Park, also known as Domino Park, is named after a famous Cuban general who fought in that country's war of independence in the late 19th century. Along with their incendiary ability with the three-minute single, what should distinguish Maximo Park from the pack is the fact that they sound like Britpop never happened and are untainted by its kitsch little Englander excesses. www.ireland.com /theticket/articles/2005/0506/2803718808TK0605MAXIMOTK0605MA.html   (2326 words)
