👉 Drug fumes are volatile compounds released when substances like opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants are smoked or inhaled. These fumes can contain a variety of chemicals, including but not limited to nicotine, methadone, and various solvents and additives used in the manufacturing process or added for effects. Inhaling these fumes can lead to rapid absorption into the bloodstream through the lungs, causing immediate effects such as euphoria, relaxation, and impaired cognitive function. Prolonged exposure can result in respiratory issues, addiction, and other health complications. The strong, often unpleasant odor of drug fumes serves as a warning but can also attract individuals to the source, posing significant risks to both users and bystanders.
