Dangerous social media trend among youth - chroming; what it is and what you need to know
chroming. Specialists elucidate this pattern. The new huffing for the younger generation is called chroming.
Per Dr. Anthony Pizon, an emergency medicine professor and chief of the medical toxicology division at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the dangerous practice is a means of getting high via inhaling hydrocarbons through the misuse of a variety of legal products, including permanent markers, aerosol deodorant, nail polish, metallic paint, computer duster, carburetor cleaner, paint thinners, gasoline, and hair spray.
According to Pizon, the name originates from the remnant of chrome or metallic paint that is left on one's face after breathing in metallic paints applied to a cloth. According to Dr. Betty Choi, a pediatrician and author of ‘Human Body Learning Lab: Take An Inside Tour of How Your Anatomy Works,’ common types of chroming entail breathing via the nose or mouth straight from the container or from a cloth or plastic bag soaked with the desired substance.

Through email, Choi stated that people have been breathing in fumes for centuries. Inhalant abuse peaked in the 1990s and has been declining for the past 20 years, according to the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. However, a new surge in youthful experimentation has been observed recently.
