Some young people have discovered
huffing canned air products effectively turns them into an inexpensive, widely-available, and legally-obtainable
recreational drug. As with
permanent markers, some varieties of
glue and certain
solvents, compressed gas dusters are a member of the "
inhalant" category. As inferred above, this is extremely dangerous, and can result in
brain damage or death.
The
ONDCP would probably suggest that you keep your cans of toxic air in a secure location, away from children. Your children would probably suggest that this is either unnecessary, or futile.
I know from personal experience that it is possible to deliberately release the
propellant by discharging a can upside-down. This propellant is notable because it is extremely
cold, and will form a kind of foamy,
frost-like residue on whatever it touches. You should probably only try this in a well-ventilated area, since I have no idea what that propellant is made of.
