	Inhalant Abuse
		Some people tend to view inhalant "sniffing," "snorting," "bagging" (fumes inhaled from a plastic bag), or "huffing" (inhalant-soaked rag in the mouth) as a kind of childish fad to be equated with youthful experiments with cigarettes.
		Inhalant abuse came to public attention in the 1950's when the news media reported that young people who were seeking a cheap "high" were sniffing glue.
		Survey data on the prevalence of inhalant abuse is difficult to obtain for a number of reasons, and information that does exist may under-emphasize the severity of the situation.
