Chroming can cause many kinds of short and long-term harm to the body, especially in children. However, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, even one instance of inhalant abuse can cause “sudden sniffing death syndrome.” The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that other side effects children and teens may experience after chroming include:
- Slurred speech
- Hallucinations
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Heart attacks
- Seizures
- Suffocation
- Permanent damage to the brain, heart, and lungs
- Death
A September 2024 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics on the effects of chroming on young people analyzed 109 chroming videos with a combined 25 million views on TikTok. The most common items used in the challenge were permanent markers, air dusters, nail polish, paint thinner, gasoline, spray deodorant, and hairspray. More than half of the videos referenced repeated use or addiction.
