💙 The Return of “Huffing”: Why We’re Worried — and What We Can Do Together
You may remember “huffing” from grainy 1990s health videos. But it’s back — now called “whippits” — and it’s harming teens across the country.
Nitrous oxide and other inhalants are often seen as “safe” because they’re legal and easy to access. But legal does NOT mean safe. These substances can deprive the brain of oxygen, causing:
🧠 Long-term brain and nervous system damage
⚠️ Memory and cognitive impairment
💔 Sudden cardiac arrest
At BIAAZ, we believe teens deserve accurate information — not viral myths.
