چکیده

The patterns of use and related harm of solvent inhalation were investigated in a group of young people who misused toluene (n = 31) and a group misusing butane (n = 12). The two groups were similar in terms of patterns of use and solvent related harm. The toluene users were more likely to sniff only in a group setting, probably because of the long duration of intoxication. The toluene group were more approving in their attitudes towards taking other drugs.
