They are known as Whip-its, Poppers or Snappers. They are steel chargers filled with nitrous oxide that are often found in whip cream canisters. Nitrous oxide is being used by some teens and adults who are looking for a cheap way to get high. What many don’t know is how dangerous this can be. It displaces oxygen, leaving less of it in the bloodstream. Because the blood carries oxygen throughout the body, diminished oxygen can result in brain damage, loss of consciousness or even death. As recently reported, actress Demi Moore was hospitalized due to nitrous oxide inhalation. Dr. John Torres from 9News shares important information regarding this dangerous addiction.
