While I was watching dangerous fads by dr Phil this is what I found out. Some of the fads that were on the show were huffing which is a fad that teenagers do by spraying a aerosol can substance on a cloth of hood then they put it over their mouth and start breathing it in. Another one was tanerexic were adults or teens are addicted to tanning, some would tan five - six days a week and the amount time they spent in the sun or tanning bed was about twenty-four hours in the sun. The last one was dieting pills, they are addictive because they help lose 10-15 pounds in a week but the side effects aren't good.
The types of people who are most likely to do these fads are people who don't care if they die from it either because they say it's their life and they can live it the way they want live it and if they die younge they said at least I lived a fun life or at least I'll be nice and tanned when I die. The reason why teenagers like to do huffing is because they think it's fun and because everyone else is doing it they think they should do it. The reason why teenagers and adults have tanning beds or spend a lot of time in the sun tanning is because they want to look beautiful. The people who would have the dieting pills are adults because they want to lose weight fast but some are sensable and stop once they've here'd what it does to you.
The side effects to huffing are numbness all over the body because the brain shuts downs for a while, another side effect was passing out a few times because they've done to much huffing. The side effects to tanning are freckles and skin spots, some of the skin spots can cause skin cancer which can kill you. The last side effects are the dieting pill side effects and they are dizziness, mood swings, numbness, stressfulness and tiredness.
An interesting fact about huffing is people die from suffocating, burns and choking on their own vomit, an interesting fact about tanning is if you tan in a tanning bed and under the age of 35 you can melanoma really easy and you can get a new mole each time you tan, the last interesting fact about dieting pills is that dieting pills trick your brain into thinking that you've just eaten a large meal.
