'Huffing' Update From Des Moines

From DesMoinesRegister.com in Iowa

Last week four West Des Moines teens were suspended after allegedly inhaling compressed gas. The article references ACE’s offer to provide both the police and school officials in that community free inhalant prevention kits for inclusion in the district's twice-yearly drug-education program.

The article also mentions a 1986 case where a 16 year-old high school student “collapsed and died in a darkroom from the intentional inhalation of a spray used to clean photographic negatives.”

Please help us get information out to even more communities around the country:
1. Visit our website http://www.inhalant.org/ to learn more about the issue.
2. Also visit our inhalant message board and read some of the many daily posts.
3. Download a copy of your own electronic version of the free inhalant abuse prevention kit here.
