Canisters of the gas cost as little as 50p. Users get a buzz that makes them feel relaxed and euphoric.

Solvent abuse didn't exist when I was a lad

We did however, ask older people to buy us beer from the off license

Slovent?

I can honestly say I never did, and not even solvent abuse either.

What a ridiculous statement, I definitely didn't.

Solvent abuse can cause all kinds of problems and health issues, it's not just a passing phase like doing a bit of graffitti at the back of the bus or something. I've seen people affected by it when I was younger and going to school, just like in the story. Why are the parents of this generations SO LAZY? I don't understand..

And some morons want to lower the age for voting. Is it any wonder we are trapped in a game of political musical chairs with only 2 corrupt, inefficient, self-serving parties playing for the PM seat?

Hey, just because, well, some of them have less braincells than others doesn't mean that it should ruin potentially voting earlier for the rest of us

Yeah Tom - I will give you that. A lot of young people are mature, and just as intelligent and knowledgeable as any youth in any other era. The trouble is that most of them seem to be Tibb members judging by the mindless morons in our town and city centres every weekend, and the evidence of numerous reality documentaries and other media articles.

Be honest now Tom A lot of UK 'Yoof' think an 'Election' is a Chinese Hard On.

[Candy Annie Cane]

When I was at school sniffing gas from an aerosol was something a lot of people did. I did do it....didn't see the harm. Until one day one of the lads didn't come into school. He had been snuffing gas and died. ....One of the cool kids. That craze went quiet pretty quick after that.

This new craze though.....isn't it nitrous oxide which is what women have on labour?

[Jayson]

Mate of mine was completely straight edge until he did a whip it a few years ago, started acting like the drug king and bragging about how he'd done a drug for weeks afterwards

There's my input

[Kizzy]

Solvent abuse does seem to go in fashions as such, tippex thinner, glue, lighter fuel, gas and now these.
You can't demonise all 'yoofs' for doing it or parents for not being able to stop their kid being affected by it.
