Now let's compare that to the effects of smoking...

• Nicotine speeds up the heart rate and increases blood pressure.
• First time smokers often feel sick and dizzy.
• Smokers are more likely to get coughs and chest infections.
• Long-term addiction could leave you with cancer, emphysema (related to your lungs) or heart disease.
• Smoking has been linked to the amputation of 2,000 limbs a year.
• It's estimated smoking contributes to 120,000 premature deaths in the UK every year.
• Other people breathing in your smoke could end up with breathing difficulties, asthma or even cancer.

Sorry, but poppers are a hell of a lot more safe than ciggarettes.

When the hell did I say I was comparing them with cigarettes?

You said that they are safe, I was just pointing out that they're not.

Also where does it say just people with Glaucoma are in danger?
People with asthma, heart conditions, unknown heart conditions.

And also it can damage the nose and mouth if you use them often!

That really says only people with Glaucoma are in danger :rolleyes:

To be fair poppers relax's me, Its fun but i just use it to relax when im rly stressed like at the momment.

*Cigarettes.

Tobacce in your ear? What an argument.
If someone gave you a substance, your more likely to put it in your mouth than your ear. Its human nature, taste and smell were partially to distinguish whether its going to kill you. Hearing sadly won't.


If someone came up to you and said 'Oh I put tobacco in my ear 'cos I was wondering what it was', you'd think them insane. If someone said I drank this liquid I found on the shelf then you could relate surely?

Here is a full list of side effects and precautions (including the bad side effects)

Side Effects
• Painful headaches, sensations of spinning or falling.
• Loss of Erection.
• Extensive use can damage tissue inside your nose and also your lungs.
• Regular use can cause swelling of the face and yellowish crusts around the nose
• Drinking poppers can cause death.
• Studies have shown that poppers reduce the functioning of your immune system for several days after use.
• Because poppers cause your blood vessels to open, it is easier to get an infection when you use them, especially sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
Precautions
• Do Not Combine poppers with other drugs, especially stimulants like speed and cocaine, in order to avoid increasing risks. Combining poppers and Viagra is dangerous because both drugs lower blood pressure.
• Do not use poppers if your nose is stuffed--forcing air into your nose can lead to ear and sinus infection.
• Risks from poppers are greater for people who have suppressed immune systems, heart problems, circulatory problems (low or high blood pressure), a history of cerebral haemorrhaging, or are anaemic or pregnant



Theres the full list of side effects.
Now does anyone else want to say poppers are safe?

Yes, those effects could happen, but it's unlikely. They are pretty much safe, as long as you are in good health.

Drugs aren't meant to be safe - except pharmacuticals.

Anyway why the **** am I saying abotu stop doing drugs.. Me and my mate are talking on msn about buying poppers lmao...

that would make you a HYPOCRITE :]

I don't really care whether they're safe or not.
I'm in good health, and I'm not stupid enough to use them constantly, nor mix them with any other drug than a little bit of weed.
