Connecticut Inhalant Task Force is proud to present a FREE training opportunity--Inhalants: Nothing to Sniff At. Sign in from 8:30 to 9am. The program begins promptly at 9.
Inhalants can kill without warning the very first time they are used! For too many adults, inhalants are just not on the radar, despite the fact that an increasing number of middle-school-age and grammar-school-age youth are experimenting with these ordinary household products. Inhalant abuse continues to be a matter of concern in Connecticut. Huffing, sniffing, glading, inhaling--it’s all dangerous, common and potentially deadly.
