Preferred term

inhalants  

Definition

  • Inhalants are compounds that are self-administered as gases or vapors to induce a desired pharmacological effect. Although drugs from many different classes may be self-administered via the lungs by smoking or vaporization, inhalants are unique in that smoking is not required for their inhalation and inhalation is typically the only route of administration by which they are used. [Source: Encyclopedia of Drug Policy; Inhalants]
