Household Products

You may have already taken the time to explore our interactive house — wherein we showed you the types of drug threats that may be present in your own home — and may have been shocked to learn that common household products can be used by kids to get high. Inhalants like aerosol spray cans are the most common type of household product abused, but they aren't the only one. Use this visual glossary to get smart about the types of products in your home that your child may abuse as a drug.

Remember, if you find something that looks suspicious, don't handle the substance or sniff it because it could be toxic. Also, if you need additional assistance in identifying a pill or other medicine that you might find, contact your local Poison Control Center or call 1-800-222-1222, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Household Products that can be drugs:

  • Glue
  • Lighter fluid
  • Cleaning fluids
