    printer friendly version

    Question: Are sniffing whiteout and magic markers illegal?

    Answer: Inhaling toxic vapors is commonly referred to as 'Huffing' and it is against the law in Arizona.

    It is against the law to knowingly breathe, inhale, or drink a vapor-releasing toxic substance. Common things that fit this definition are glue, spray paint, gasoline, etc.

    There are also regulations regarding the sale of inhalants. Using or selling these substances is regarded as a class 5 felony or a class 1 misdemeanor depending on the seriousness of the offense. (ARS 13-3403).

    Also see more information on this topic under substances in the LawForKids.org Laws section.

    My best friend started sniffing and she would act really weird. But now her and her mom are going to therapy and she is doing better. My message to people is: dont collaspe uder pressure like she did.I dont thinks she realized how much it her the people around her. If you know someone who is huffing TELL SOMEONE!! It can make all the diffrence.
