“Chroming” is the latest trend to gain traction among teens — and it’s claimed the lives of multiple children.

Similar to huffing, “chroming” refers to the practice of inhaling chemicals from common items like permanent markers, aerosol deodorant, nail polish, paints or hair spray for a short-lived high, according to CNN.

“Most of these products are easy to find in homes and cheap to buy in stores,” Dr. Betty Choi, an author and pediatrician told CNN. “(Chroming) can become addictive when it’s done over and over again.” “Chroming” — a term derived from sniffing chrome-based paint products — has resulted in deaths and hospitalizations of children in recent months, and prompted concerned parents to speak out.

I suppose the government will want to ban chrome-based paint products for the “good of the children”.

The liars.

It's just an excuse to find more ways to regulate us into a life of misery.

Considering the ways they are trying to kill us off, they don't give a damn about the kids.

The smell of mimeo fluid brings back memories of my elementary school days.

I grew up on a northern town in a house with no central AC, so much of my childhood springs, summers and autumns were spent sleeping with open windows with screens.

We lived two houses down from an ARCO gas station and every Saturday morning the delivery truck would come to fill the station's tanks and the smell of gasoline would waft across the neighborhood. Because it was Saturday, I associated the smell with cartoons and no school. I've loved the smell of gas since then.
