Abstract
The literature on the use of toluene as an intoxicating agent was briefly reviewed. Two human cases were described in which the habit of sniffing toluene vapors extended over many years. The rarity of this condition and speculation about the conditions that might account for both the rarity and the occurrence of long-term toluene abuse were discussed.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
