A member asked:
Can you tell me what number of brain cells do you lose from huffing spray paint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think anyone: has counted, and I would hope that, by age 37, if this is you, you would have given up huffing by now. Tens of thousands of brain cells may be injured or die with severe alcohol intoxication, and I would imagine it would be even more with huffing toluene compounds. We have billions of brain cells, but if you huff daily, we are talking about losing tens of millions over the course of a year.
