My friend has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other permanent damage from huffing at the age of 12, now in her 30s. Other risks include sight loss/blindness, heart/kidney/liver damage, hearing loss, bone marrow (fatty inner lining of bones that makes blood cells) damage and even death which can occur after the very First time. For more information about the dangers of huffing: National Inhalant Prevention Coalition.
