glue sniffer

Solvent abuse practitioner

A glue sniffer is someone who inhales the fumes from adhesives to get high.

The practice, also called huffing, produces a brief intoxicating effect but can cause serious brain damage or death.

The term is sometimes used loosely for anyone who inhales volatile substances: Those glue sniffers hanging around the underpass.
