Summary Solvent abuse, a practice more commonly known as glue sniffing is not a new phenomenon. It has been practised by children and adolescents in America and elsewhere since the late 1950s. The aims of this review were to provide information about the demographic characteristics of solvent sniffers, to look at the extent of the practice, to determine the sociological factors associated with it and to detail the effects, particularly the toxic effects of adhesives and other substances, the vapours of which could be deliberately inhaled. The findings are discussed.
