Inhalant abusers use many different methods to extract and ingest the desired ingredient.
Some of these methods add to the danger of inhalant abuse. Glue sniffers often distribute the glue on the inside surface of a paper bag. Both of these methods bring glue close to the mouth and nose of the sniffer. Sometimes a rash or a translucent white film of glue appears on the upper lip, cheeks or chin of a glue sniffer. However, this sign of glue sniffing does not always appear on inhalant abusers.
