'As a father of two teenage boys, I was very concerned when I first learned about Inhalant Abuse. I immediately sat down with my sons to discuss what they knew about it and to warn them of the extreme dangers. Communication and education are critical aspects that need to be integrated throughout the teen years.' - Chris Cathcart President, Consumer Specialty Products Association

'With 22% of 6th and 8th graders admitting to abusing inhalants, but only 3% of parents thinking their child has ever abused inhalants – it is clear that this generation of pre-teens and especially their parents have a lot to learn about the lethal nature of inhalant abuse.' - Stephen J. Pasireb, President and CEO, The Partnershi for Drug-Free America
