AUSTIN (AP) — The state’s anti
drug agency is urging parents and
teachers to watch for signs of in
halant abuse amongTexas children.
A recent survey of Texas public
school students found that 20 per
cent in grades seven through 12 ad
mitted using inhalants at least once;
8.1 percent of seventh-graders said
they’d tried inhalants at least once
in the past month.
“Students in elementary and
middle school say they are attract
ed to inhalants because they are
cheap, legal, easy to obtain, conve
niently packaged and easy to hide
from parents,” the Texas Commis
sion on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
said Wednesday.
The agency released a report on
inhalant abuse that said inhaling cor
rection fluid, solvents, paint, glue and
other products often leads children,
many not yet in their teens on “a de
structive journey to addiction.”
"Early inhalant abuse is clearly
an indicator of high risk for multi
ple problems with school and oth
er drugs,” the report said.
TCADA said that
