​What are Poppers?​

The most common type of poppers inhalant is amyl nitrite. It is often confused with amyl nitrate, which is, in fact, a different chemical with a similar name, often misspelled as amil nitrate. Poppers are also known as liquid gold, butyl nitrite, heart medicine, and room deodorizer.

The term poppers first began being used for these drugs in the 1960s, when amyl nitrite, which was then used as a heart medicine, was sold in capsules that were cracked, or "popped," to release the chemical.

You should never leave an open bottle of poppers in a room, whether or not you hope to deodorize it. It would not be an effective deodorizer and could be harmful.

Originally created in the late 19th century and used as a treatment for chest pain, poppers are derived from alkyl nitrates which are distilled into liquid form. The liquid, normally packaged into small plastic bottles with removable caps, gives off intense fumes which can create a feeling of euphoria when inhaled. Today, poppers are most often used for recreational purposes such as parties and sex enhancers. Poppers are most often sold in nightclubs, bars and adult stores as well as being available online. Due to the restrictions placed on the sale of poppers in certain countries, they are sometimes marketed as deodorisers or leather polish. In the past 30 years, poppers have been used most in the gay community, on the dancefloor and in the bedroom. However, they have become more popular within mainstream society and club culture in recent years.

Overall, poppers tend to have fewer side effects than many other drugs and are often harder to get addicted to. That’s why proposed bans never became effective. However, there are side effects that can result from the use of poppers such as headaches, dizziness, and skin irritation. Poppers have also been known to cause respiratory problems from time to time and, due to their ability to increase the body’s heart rate, can be dangerous to people with heart problems. Poppers are only truly dangerous when taken with other drugs, as this could result in adverse side effects or reactions that could be harmful, possibly even fatal, to the user.

Although rarely used for heart problems today, amyl nitrite is still used to treat cyanide poisoning. Poppers are widely used as recreational drugs, especially on the gay scene, and are typically taken as fumes inhaled directly from small bottles. Poppers are cheap and easy to acquire, often sold as a room deodorizer or as sex enhancers in sex shops, although their use carries significant risks.

With brief, intense effects lasting from just a few seconds to a few minutes, poppers are often used as an adjunct to other designer drugs, such as acid (LSD) and ecstasy. This type of use is not necessarily associated with sex but rather with the desire for an immediate "rush" or sensation of intense relaxation, dizziness, euphoria, mood elevation, and intoxication.

​Why are Poppers banned in most countries?​

Among the many drugs that circulate in modern society, poppers are some of the most mysterious. Although poppers are less harmful types of drugs, they are often viewed in a negative light and are even banned in many countries due to their perceived dangers and long-standing biases held about them.

Originally created in the late 19th century and used as a treatment for chest pain, poppers are derived from alkyl nitrates which are distilled into liquid form. The liquid, normally packaged into small plastic bottles with removable caps, gives off intense fumes which can create a feeling of euphoria when inhaled.

Alkyl nitrates are a class of chemicals that include a number of different chemical properties such as amyl nitrates, pentyl nitrates and butyl nitrates. When inhaled through the nasal cavities, the body changes these properties into a certain type of nitric oxide which causes the blood vessels to open up and the blood pressure to drop. In response, the body’s heart rate becomes more rapid and this causes feelings of excitement and euphoria. Along with this, poppers can also cause the smooth muscles in the body, including the muscles in the throat, vagina, and anus, to become relaxed. Poppers are said to produce feelings of warmth, tingling and tranquillity. Although the effects of poppers are usually intense, unlike other drugs, these effects are relatively short-lived and only last a few minutes at most.

Overall, poppers tend to have fewer side effects than many other drugs and are often harder to get addicted to. That’s why proposed bans never became effective. However, there are side effects that can result from the use of poppers such as headaches, dizziness, and skin irritation. Poppers have also been known to cause respiratory problems from time to time and, due to their ability to increase the body’s heart rate, can be dangerous to people with heart problems. Poppers are only truly dangerous when taken with other drugs, as this could result in adverse side effects or reactions that could be harmful, possibly even fatal, to the user.

Although poppers are less dangerous than many other drugs, they tend to be categorised with illegal drugs such as ecstasy and ketamine and are often viewed negatively by politicians and law enforcement. Because they are mostly used in relation to parties or sex, some people consider poppers to be a sort of “corrupting” drug and this type of drug is also often associated with more dangerous drugs that tend to be used in similar settings, such as LSD. Along with this, in the past, poppers were thought to contribute to the spread of AIDS due to poppers becoming more popular during the outbreak of AIDs in the 1980s. Although this wasn’t necessarily the case, such beliefs have significantly contributed to the negative view of poppers held by lawmakers.

Due to their perceived danger as inhalant psychoactive drugs, alkyl nitrates have been made illegal in countries such as Japan, France, Canada, Germany and Switzerland. In other countries, such as the UK, the United States and Australia, sale of alkyl nitrate is legal but it cannot be sold or advertised for human consumption. Despite the restrictions and biases toward poppers, these inhalants have steadily become more popular all over the world especially online where Poppers UK, for example, shows websites who sell to the UK. As the biases toward [oppers have begun to diminish, it can be hoped that more people will realise how much less harmful poppers are in relation to other drugs. Ultimately, policymakers may turn their attention to educating people on how to use poppers safely instead of just restricting their freedom to use them at all.

EFFECTS OF POPPERS?​

Inhaling poppers can cause severe effects, and may be fatal.

Taking the drug in this way can cause irregular and rapid heart rhythms and result in a syndrome called "sudden sniffing death."

Also, poppers can have other complications that are potentially fatal.

For example, the drug can causeTrusted Source methemoglobinemia, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body produces too much methemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells.

Taking poppers may also lead to serious brain or eye damage and risky sexual behavior.

For example, researchTrusted Source in rats indicates that the chemicals in poppers may be toxic to the brain and inhibit learning and memory.

It is also possible for poppers to cause temporary or permanent vision loss. This may occur because the drugs' chemical formulations cause retinal damage.

Some experts suggestTrusted Source that using poppers may lead to risky sexual activity, increasing the chances of contracting HIV.

Also, researchTrusted Source from 2017 links long-term poppers use in men who have sex with men to a higher risk of cancers related to viruses and sexually transmitted infections. The participants did not have HIV.

Some people mix poppers with erectile dysfunction medication, such as sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis). This can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications, which can be fatal.

WHO ARE POPPERS FOR?​

2010 studyTrusted Source indicated that amyl nitrite use was consistent between 2002 and 2007 in "sexual minority men" in New York, despite a significant decrease in the use of other types of drugs, including ecstasy and ketamine.

However, people of all ages, races, and sexual orientations use poppers. For example, a studyTrusted Source involving British medical students stated that 10 percent reported having used poppers at least once.

In France, the use of poppers rose sharplyTrusted Source between 2000 and 2010. The drugs were popular among both adults and teenagers, ranking second only to cannabis.
