They've got to be the bottom end of the doper food chain. You're in a good spot to judge, of the people coming in with serious psycho-active problems what's the percentage that are huffers compared to hopheads, cokers and alcoholics? I was in that crowd during my wild youth and the closest I ever encountered was a guy really into rush (some sort of semi-legal THC-ether combo that really messed you up for about 5 minutes), most of us would take a sniff of glue or whatever if it came across our vision in normal life but it never became a lifestyle for anybody that's what pot was for.

It's not really an either/or situation. Sniffing is a poor man's high. You can buy a can of spray paint and get high as a kite for a couple of days. Most of the sniffers will do just about anything that gets you brain-fried, and because sniffing is about the cheapest way to get high, most of the ones I encountered were on the tail end of the downward spiral. They would snort coke or drink or do heroin or whatever if they could afford it, but they couldn't even keep it together enough to steal or prostitute themselves enough to get that much money. Oh, BTW, only a few of them were kids. Most were aging hippies or in their late twenties.
