This craze is going around the middle schools and high schools for students to feel a “high”. This product is not just compressed air. It also contains a propellant called R2. It's a refrigerant like what is used in your refrigerator. It is a heavy gas; heavier than air. When you inhale it, it fills your lungs and keeps the good air, with oxygen, out. That's why you feel dizzy or buzzed. It decreases the oxygen to your brain, to your heart.
IT KILLS YOU.
The horrible part about this is that there is “No Warning”. There is no level that kills you. It's not cumulative or an overdose; it can just go randomly, terribly wrong. IT'S NOT AN OVERDOSE. You usually die as you're breathing it in. If not, you die within 2 seconds of finishing 'the hit.' The experts want to call this “huffing”. The kids call it “dusting”. There is no chemical reaction, no strong odor. Be aware if your child is complaining about his or her tongue hurting. This is a major side effect. The propellant does cause frostbite.
