From East Mountain Telegraph in New Mexico:
Air Freshener is increasingly on the rise in Estancia. Police began hearing that kids were buying “several cans of air freshener from some local businesses.” An officer noted, "They were buying as many as six or seven cans at a time. It piqued our curiosity about what they were using it for.”
Initially believing it was being used to mask the odor of marijuana or cigarettes, they began an investigation. They found “six empty cans of aerosol spray on a table next to two rags” at the high school. “Then they found empty air freshener cans along with dirty rags on the inside wall of the dugout at the school. They also got a call that some 12 to 16 year olds were inhaling it in the locker room of the middle school.”
The Chief of Police states, "My biggest concern is getting it out so that parents are aware of it. Parents need to be constantly diligent and aware of what their kids are up to. Because who would've guessed it? It seems particularly popular now in Estancia for whatever reason. He added, “Most of the time parents are alert if they have alcohol missing in the house. But does anyone ever check the air freshener in the laundry room?"

Dear Anonymous:
I don't know if you saw this when you looked it up(what made you look it up?) but huffing air fresheners can be deadly!! We have a number of parents that we work with whom have lost children to this activity but we don't want to see anything like that happen to you or your cousin.You are right in seeking help. Please also visit our message board where you will find others going through the same exact thing you are now. http://messageboard.inhalant.org/
I admire Ace News, but I do slightly suspect that the comment by Anonymous may be a hoax. Authorities say solvent abuse is not addictive physically, so are these symptoms possible?
well i was once inhaling air fresheners and it was six months after i quit doing it i got symptoms i am very scared and hallucinate once in a wile i have panic attacks once in a wile too . sometimes i ask my self if im really here or am i in a coma but what really scares me the most is that i could of died anytime i tried it or even going mental with in time for doing crap i shouldn't of
This abuse is totally addictive
