Legal implications

 

Most inhalants are common household products, so it is not practical to make them illegal and it would not help protect young people from harm. However, it is illegal for shopkeepers to sell products to someone if they believe that they are to be used for inhaling.

It is illegal to drive a motor vehicle while under the influence of any drug, including inhalants. Breaking this law carries heavy penalties including disqualification from driving, fines and even imprisonment. It is advised that you do not drive after the consumption of any mood altering substance. You could put your own and other people's lives at serious risk.
