Michigan Mom Crashes Car Into Church and Injures Her Three Children
Via the Daily Reporter in Michigan:
A 25 year old woman was sentenced after an inhalant abuse related arrest last September. The woman’s three children were injured when she crashed her car into the steps of a church.

She also admitted she introduced that person to huffing.
Her mother, who now has custody of the three children, noted the children couldn’t wake their mother while she was driving.” One of the children suffered a head wound and now has a permanent scar across her forehead. The other suffered minor injuries and the oldest two are now in counseling.

causing serious injury, a five-year offense, in return for dismissal of driving
while intoxicated charges."

Whipped Cream Stolen From Shelves
From the Lancaster New Era in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
A 23 year-old Pennsylvania man is being charged with 'summary retail theft and huffing' after allegedly entering a local grocery store and huffing nitrous oxide gas from over 20 cans of whipped cream. The suspect stole several cans of whipped cream from store shelves and proceeded to a deserted aisle where he was able to “squat down and inhale the gas out of the top of the can" without allowing any of the whipped cream to come out. Also referred to as ‘whippets’ – whipped cream is a commonly abused substance that can elicit a short lived ‘high’ for users, often lasting for ten seconds or less. Store surveillance tapes led police to the young suspect, who is facing additional charges pending an investigation into another recent incident that left 25 cans of whipped cream ‘huffed.’

Inhalants "Not a Problem" in Michigan
From the Gaylord Herald Times in Michigan:
The Gaylord City Police Department recently stated that inhalant abuse has not been a big problem in their community.
However, the police detective noted that a “a couple of years ago there had been a problem with inhalant abuse among teenagers and young adults using model airplane glue and some individuals have recently been huffing the contents of computer duster aerosol cans.”
He continued, “it is a problem which surfaces now and then but is not as common as underage drinking or the abuse of illegal drugs.”
He also discussed the case last year where Wal-Mart was concerned about an individual buying numerous cans of computer duster. Officers reached out to the young man and “saw that he received the help and counseling he needed after it was determined he may have had a problem with inhalant abuse.”
The chief noted that he had heard reports “that a number of empty whip cream cans had recently been found at Gaylord’s Aspen Park, his department is not aware of an abuse problem from inhaling the propellant found inside the contents of the cans.” He concluded, “It doesn’t mean it’s not happening, but we haven’t found any evidence or handled any complaints of its abuse.”

Los Angeles Seeks to Ban Sale of Whippets to Minors
From Jean’s Freelancing II Blog post:
The press release is regarding an effort by Assemblyman Torlakson and Los Angeles City Attorney to “work with parents and schools to prohibit the sale of “whippets” to minors. Whippets are small containers of nitrous intended for home use in whipped cream charging bottles.
The release quotes a study showing “15.7% of eighth graders, 12.8% of tenth graders, and 9.9% of twelfth graders reported use of inhalants.”
Torlakson, a teacher, notes "At about 25 cents each, whippets are too easy for our kids to buy. That is why we have seen kids as young as third-graders begin to abuse nitrous oxide.”
