This is a very horribly sad story and it's true. Kids are using compressed air that we use to dust off computers, etc., to get high - unfortunately, it kills in seconds.
You might have to copy & paste, I'm sorry about that.

Hey, Lady! I'm glad you got my e-mail & that you are spreading the word. It gave me the shock of my life when I read the link myself. It's so sad b/c these kids think they are just huffing compressed air, but in reality there is also a chemical in Dust Off that is the same as Antifreeze. Scary isn't it?

Thank you so much for sending it to me! I had no idea - I knew about "huffing" but had no clue about the compressed air. It's just terrible, I forwarded it to everyone I know!

I've heard of this. I wouldn't say that "dusting" will kill your kids, although that is what they call huffing canned air, but keeping canned air in your house will kill your kids if they are silly enough to try to huff it.

Oh my God! I can't believe this! They need to make huge posters and place them in the stores about this. And they need to make it illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy it. I can't believe that something so silly can take your babies away from you in 2 seconds. I hope everyone reads this and is aware of what your children are REALLY doing. Thank you so much for sharing this information!

I did know that this stuff was toxic. No wonder I always feel dizzy after cleaning all the computers.
