'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

'We never warned our son about the dangers of Inhalant Abuse because we had never even heard about it. Our son, Ricky, died after trying Inhalants just one time. Now we spend each day hoping for opportunities to educate parents, grandparents and adults everywhere about the deadly consequences of Inhalant Abuse.' - Ricky, Sr. and Diane Stem
