From Pasadena Star-News in California
Officials in Azusa, California have passed a city-wide mandate in the hopes of deterring local teens and tweens from abusing aerosol products- drastically reducing the practice of ‘huffing.’ It is now considered a misdemeanor for anyone under the age of 18 to possess an aerosol product without proper parent and/or guardian documentation. Last summer, City Councilman Robert Gonzales began to lobby for an anti-huffing ordinance after discovering aerosol cans concealed in various student hangouts and shopping centers across the community during a city beautification project. Gonzales believes the mandate will drastically reduce crime and drug abuse among Azusa teens.
