Campbell, Annmarie

PTA Today, v20 n2 p15-17 Nov-Dec 1994

Inhalant abuse often starts as young as sixth grade. Inhalants are attractive to children because they are cheap and accessible. Though inhalant use has significant consequences, many parents fail to recognize the signs of abuse. The article suggests how to prevent inhalant abuse or intervene when there is a problem. A list of products abusers frequently use is provided. (SM)
