From Channel News Asia from Singapore:
Towards the end of the article, an interesting inhalant related note:
“Back home, there's another trend - more youths aged below 20 nabbed for inhalant abuse last year. They made up three quarters of such arrests. To tackle this, the bureau said it will go straight to the root of the problem. It will advise shopkeepers on controlling the sale of inhalant products and organise talks in schools.”

Inhalants in Brunei
Via Bru Direct in Brunei, Southeast Asia
According to the acting assistant director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), “Inhalants are newly preferred drug substance abused by young people in the Sultanate.”
He mentioned that it has included “sniffing kangaroo glue, thinner and nail polish” and they have caught students abusing inhalants both at home and in schools. To combat the issue the NCB will hold mobile exhibits to raise public awareness of the issue. They are even targeting weddings where they will be “able to catch the attention of guests before they enter the houses.”
