The Deadly Trend of Chroming: Calls for Action After Teen's Death.

Chroming is a dangerous trend among teenagers that involves inhaling toxic substances such as aerosol cans, paint, and cleaning products as recreational drugs. The short-term effects include slurred speech, dizziness, hallucinations, euphoria, nausea, vomiting, and disorientation, while long-term abuse can lead to cognitive impairment and permanent damage to the brain, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Chroming can also result in sudden death, and it is becoming more popular among Gen Z and those who cannot afford or do not have access to other drugs. The trend is being promoted on social media platforms like TikTok, and some celebrities have been seen experimenting with inhalants.
