Substance Abuse: Research Update[series info]

Huffing: the Latest Facts

This gripping program tells unforgettable stories of teens fighting their abuse of inhalants, as well as two families who lost children to inhalant abuse. One interview segment involves an Ohio police officer whose son died after a brief experiment with inhalants. Another recounts a recovering user who learned first-hand that huffing inhalants is not only perilous, but can quickly lead to other types of drug abuse. In between the real stories, a group of teens talk directly to viewers addressing the addictive nature of inhalants and clearly outlining the damage these toxic chemicals cause to the brain, heart and lungs. Teacher`s Resource Book provides additional follow-up assignments and reinforces the program`s powerful never-use message.
