Answers:

You're excuse made me laugh! I doubt very much that this is for a poster!
I have used inhalants on several occasions, and in all honesty, thay are not particularly addictive, as you will usually feel SO ill the next day that the last thing u will want to do is more inhaling!
Inhalants also have the absolute shortest buzz you will get from any drug. You can spend 3 mins inhaling the stuff into your lungs for a buzz that will last on average, about 1 minute.
So you then have to keep doing it again and again.
Just remember that all that deodorant or whatever it is, is setttling in your lungs.
I have had chest pains for many days after using inhalants, and my eyes have gone very dry and bulgy. My lips were also extremely dry and cracked for ages.
The most important thing to remember is the fact that doing it just once can kill you. When you are buzzing, your body produces a very large amount of the chemicals responsible for "fight or flight" response, and if anything should happen to surprise you, like your mum walks in the room, or you hear a loud bang, you can suffer a massive heart attack.
This almost happened to me once, as my dog barged into my bedroom unexpectedly, and my heart began to race about 200 bpm, luckily I calmed down in time.
Well, if this IS for a poster, hopefully I have helped you out!
But if not, then PLEASE do not pick up that can. It just IS NOT worth it, believe me!
I have tried most drugs in my youth, and almost all of them have had awful side-effects that were just not worth the short buzz. The only drug I now take regularly is weed. I don't believe it should be illegal, for many reasons. But that's a whole other story!
