Huffing is like this

[Tonsoszaliron]

This scared the crap out of me as a kid, as I thought "sniffing" meant your ordinary sniffling during a common cold.

[tilamilla]

This commercial used to scare me...

[flowerintherain]

This PSA scared me when I was a kid. I thought my room was gonna fill up with water and cause me to drown.

[kadytheredpanda]

I live in Georgia but I could have sworn I've seen this ad before. I was seven and I remembered ALL of it. Holy shit...

[nintendogsyo]

This commercial used to freaking scare me when I was about 8 or 9. I didn't understand the commercial, but just seeing a little girl drown impacted me when I was a kid.

[hanjiesong]

@nintendogsyo yeah, exactly the same with me, haha

[drone5]

it should scare the hell out of you

huffing can kill you almost instantly (not a scare story; this is true)

the bag's on your face and then Dad walks in your bedroom. adrenaline rush, because you've been caught and you're scared, OK?

causes a cardiac arrhythmia which can kill in seconds.

dentists use nitrous 'cause it doesn't have this problem, & the machine mixes in extra oxygen. go the DIY route and you might forget to breathe real air now & then. hypoxia kills brain cells, at least...

[jordan5874]

OMG i remeber this comercial when i was 7 lol

[hottiebabemandudes]

why would someone ever try this its so dangerous :(

[iamzim662]

@hottiebabemandudes it really is..): I definently thought i was going to die. I feel really bad for all my friends who still do this..

[cradlefreak111489]

sadly i seen this first hand me and 6 of my friends went over to my friends mike and few of my friends wanted to get high so he ran up stairs and got some axe (the spray kind) and he sprayed it in a bag and we all got little messed up but my best friend zack....he did to much of it and he layed down and passed out and didnt wake up we all thought he was faking it since he has before in past but no we call 911 and they came and the parmedics said he died at the seen i still regret it majorly

[TBTabby]

Drug PSAs have scared me before, but this one actually gave me nightmares. I had to avert my eyes whenever it came on TV.

[LizzehMarie]

when i was little, this commercial scared the hell out of me.

[helpthesuisidal]

this commercial, when i watch it, i can hardly breathe. because i have done it like four times, saw this commercial, stopped. have not done it ever scence

[Kentaro260]

how did you make this? no i'm not insulting you this is just interesting.

[chaossector]

If anyone has seen the full version of this, can you direct us to it? Thanks

[dabx1]

I really think there isn't any more of this commercial, that's bout it. She died, hint hint she OD'd on drugs.

[TheLadyYuki]

For the full version, type "Spanish Anti-Drug Commercial" in the search bar, and its the first result you'll get.

[mackcrusher]

I found the original!

Google "inhalants drowning 1995." Click on the 1997 Inhalant Campaign link. You'll see the "Drowning" Video on that page. Click on it to download. You'll need RealPlayer to play it, but RP is really easy to install.

I had not seen this commercial in years, so I was pretty excited to download it. Enjoy reliving the memories...

[kurbster]

Finally I was looking for this video for 2 hours but its not the full one ahh ah well...

-kurbster

[harrisonmaniac]

but yeah this is isn't the original.

[harrisonmaniac]

I remember this commercial! I would be watching sunday morning cartoons. And I would get so scared when this came on. I was like 5 or 6.

[The457]

I remember this commercial

[SpamNapkin]

Ah I was looking for this, The last time I saw it was two years ago.

[xshellylynnx88]

That came out in 94 or 95?

[PxMxS]

yeah i remember seeing this when i was like

3, 4, or 5 years old.

I miss those days lol

[Nextasy91]

Man, this was from back in the day. Good, scary message sent to young kids and teens about not taking drugs. They don't even have good commercials like this now; just commercials for fat kids. Plus, more kids are taking drugs now. They want to be "gangsta" and get high unlike the kids from way back.

[MonkeyOctober]

I love these commericals.Scary ass hell,but right.I should show a slide of these commericals for a D.A.R.E session for my class,before I left.

[PxMxS]

i know. now i'm 16 and i feel so nostalgis when i watch this commercial

[Ejvs87]

I think the footage used here is from the original but some small parts are edited out, it has lessened the impact.

[SpamNapkin]

didn't the original include a close up of the girl's dead body or something?

[Duvmasta]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Alex45ACP]

Yeah it was edited. I used to have it on tape years ago when I was taping Beavus and Butt-Head off of MTV and they shortened it. The full footage it closes in on her face in the end. Her mouth is open, her eyes are closed and strand of her hair are going in her face from the water. She is dead and sinking to the bottom of her room. They should have kept that in. All you see in that is her legs going limp in the end. It was more disturbing with the closeup of her face. You felt sorry for her.

[missbirdie05]

To tell you the truth, I actually would have nightmares about drowning in general. I was almost afraid of swimming after watching this ad.

[TheLadyYuki]

I remember seeing that version! Although I wasn't paying very good attention to some of it, I did catch that disturbing ending. First and only time I ever saw that commercial, but I remembered that ending for years.

[MusicBox1986]

Wow! I remember this commercial very well.

[Jannsmith]

What a haunting public service announcement (psa) as I remember this commercial as though it were yesterday. A friend has permanent brain damage as well as bone marrow (fatty inner lining of bones) damage from huffing. Please be smart and don't huff!

[Smithkakarot]

I concur. Anyone know where the original is?

[Darksouledge]

What's inhalant abuse?

[drugfreetexas]

What are Inhalants?

Inhalants are ordinary household products that are inhaled or sniffed by children to get high. There are hundreds of household products on the market today that can be misused as inhalants.

[drugfreetexas]

What are their long-term effects?

Symptoms exhibited by long-term inhalant abusers include weight loss, muscle weakness, disorientation, inattentiveness, lack of coordination, irritability, and depression.

[drugfreetexas]

After heavy use of inhalants, abusers may feel drowsy for several hours and experience a lingering headache. Because intoxication lasts only a few minutes, abusers frequently seek to prolong their high by continuing to inhale repeatedly over the course of several hours. By doing this, abusers can suffer loss of consciousness and death.

[lilkunta]

Can u pls post the original commercials. Thx.

[Darksouledge]

Thanks for explaining it to me.

[MVillani1985]

This doesn't have the harsh impact of the original, but an ok remake. Many say this is a commercial that would make anyone under 13 shit themselves.

[SpamNapkin]

so..what exactly did they do to lessen the impact?

[triggerboy]

anyone know where i can find the original?

[whizkidforte]

WOW! That's another remake of the 1995 original and I remember it well! Thanks for the memories!
