Anaesthetic Gases & Solvents Glue and Aerosol Sniffing Very little is known about the long term effects of sniffing substances such as glue, aerosols and petrol. Abuse of these substances has been known to cause death. Effects During Pregnancy Inhaling glues and aerosols during pregnancy can harm the baby. The most likely result will be early labour, a premature baby, and the associated breathing problems and risk of infection. What You Con Do If you are pregnant and having problems reducing or stopping your use of aerosols talk to an alcohol and drug counselling service, or your doctor or midwife.
