What is some information on inhalants?

Gases

Gases include medical anesthetics as well as gases used in household or commercial products.

Nitrous oxide is the most abused of these gases and can be found in whipped cream dispensers and products that boost octane levels in racing cars. Household or commercial products containing gases include butane lighters, propane tanks, whipped cream dispensers, and refrigerants.
