Australia Concerned About the Increase in Inhalant Abuse in Britain




Via News.com in Australia:

The article notes the increase in young teens abusing nitrous oxide (more commonly referred to by the slang term “hippy crack”) in Britain. British government statistics report more than 350,000 young people as having used the gas as a party or festival drug in the past year.

Australian drug experts are concerned that Australians will follow the trend. According to the National Drug Strategy Household Survey in 2010, nearly 4 per cent of Australians aged over 14 have used inhalants at some stage in their life.
