Growing Trend of Inhalant Abuse Among Students in Fiji
Via The Fiji Times Online in Fiji
Inhalant abuse is becoming a notable trend in student drug and substance abuse cases despite a 24% reduction in cases reported in both primary and secondary schools last year. According to a study done by the National Substance Abuse Advisory Council (NSAAC) last year, 23% of students had sniffed glue and benzene out of a total sample of 2,147 students.
"This is a growing trend among school students despite an overall decline in the percentage of drugs and substance abuse among the schooling population," said Education Officer, Talica Malani. The total number of drug and substance abuse cases reported by schools dropped from 526 cases in 2009 to 399 cases in 2010. Malani attributes the drop in reported cases, to vigorous awareness campaigns with various government departments, the police drug unit, non-governmental organizations and religious groups to create an impact on student behavior.

Inhalant Abuse as a Deterrent to Hunger
Via NDTV.com in India:
International Children’s Rights Day was celebrated this past November 20th. In honor of the awareness day, NDTV published an article on street kids and substance abuse that features inhalant abuse.
The piece opens with the case of a 12 year-old runaway who regularly sniffs glue to “keep hunger at bay.” The article then mentions that “two in every 10 street children in Bangalore, are victims of substance abuse” and that the younger ones start with tobacco and then move to inhalants before transitioning to alcohol.

Another Suicide Due to Inhalant Abuse
Via WisconsinWatch.Org
Sadly, yet another case of a suicide related to inhalant abuse.
The article describes how fifteen years ago, a 14 year-old boy tragically took his own life while high on glue. He had been huffing glue with his younger brother when they got into an argument over mowing the lawn. His older brother’s wife smelled the glue and called police out of concern for his safety.
The boy then hid in the closet of a locked bedroom and when the officers entered the trailer he shot himself with a hunting rifle.

Father of Two Found Huffing Shoe Glue In Front Of Kids
Via Beaver County Times in Pennsylvania:
A 33 year-old father of two has been accused of huffing. Last Sunday police responded to a report of child endangerment. Two officers responded and “were immediately hit with an overpowering smell of a solvent.”
An infant was sitting in a car seat about 3 feet from a man with two tubes of shoe glue and a plastic bag containing the substance. The report notes that another empty tube of the product was on a stand next to the chair.
The man told the officers he had been using the substance to repair his shoes but when the shoes couldn’t be located, he responded he had repaired them weeks ago. The officers noted the strong smell in the house along with “a strong solvent odor coming from his breath and body.” In addition they noted he also seemed “disoriented, confused, and had watery, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.”
The man’s wife gave police a written statement that he had been inhaling glue all day. He was charged with “two counts of endangering the welfare of children and one count of illegal use of certain solvents and noxious substances.”

New York Looks At DWI Laws, May Add Inhalants
From Empire State News (May 5):
The New York legislature will review a law that redefines DWI offenses. The Governor endorsed the measure, noting the 9,000 drunk driving related accidents in that state each year. These crashes result in an estimated 400 deaths. Under the proposal, second time offenders could face 10 years in prison, double the current maximum sentence.
Notably, the legislation will expanded the driving while intoxicated definition to include inhalants. The bill, building on "Leandra's Law", would mandate that offenders install an ignition interlock device. The mechanism requires the driver to breath into it before the vehicle will start. Attempts to tamper with the device are punishable.

Glue Abuse in Australia

A 23 year-old has pleaded guilty to stealing glue from a local supermarket. On March 1 at 4:20 pm he stole a tube of glue and plastic bags from another area of the store. Two hours later he stole two more tubes of glue and additional plastic bags. He was caught on camera in both cases.

Cemetery 'Huffer' On The Loose
From The Record Eagle in Michigan
Police in Traverse City are on the look-out for a man who violently assaulted a cemetery grounds manager after being discovered inhaling what appeared to be glue on the premise. When the manager directed the intruder to leave the cemetery the suspect attacked him from behind, “repeatedly punching and kicking him, before running off.”
Strangely the suspect was sighted again two hours later when he “jumped into a woman’s car and asked for a ride home.” However, when the woman refused he ran off again. Police have collected several empty containers of glue from around the cemetery, suggesting the suspect’s antics were related to ‘huffing.’ The cemetery manager suffered from minor facial injuries including several bruises and a chin laceration.
