Solvents
 
this is kinda weird -
but I like the smell of some solvents like butane or plastic etc....
and at first i sniffed them because I liked the smell
but now everytime i'm in contact with a lighter - i smell the butane.

now i don't know how hard or how long you have to inhale for solvents to actually work...

but i can't POSSIBLY be addicted to it right?

no your not addicted,
I'm not going to tell you about "what and how"
but its a disgusting habit you have, I'm sorry to tell you how it is...
but it is one thing you should stay away from, i don't really see any harm, personally, in you liking the smell of the gas from a lighter, i suppose its just like when anyone has a marker pen, its always one of those "smells" as to say.
but please please please don't turn it into a habit, I'm pretty sure your much better than that :-)

If you smell the butane every time you're in contact with a lighter, then you may very well be addicted. It is possible to get addicted to a lot of things.

I'm not an expert but i am in recovery for alcoholism. I'm addicted to chocolate ice cream!:yeah:

Please stay away from the butane and other solvents. Besides being addicting they can do major damage to your body and even kill you.

thank you
yer i just LOVE the smell - but i'm not sure whether just smelling it is doing me harm

Smelling solvents is doing you harm. Why don't you look it up online? You might look up solvent abuse and then look up butane to see what the warnings are.

There are foods that have a strong smell. Vinegar, mustard, cut up chili pepper, onion. Why don't you see if you might substitute one of those?

i've had an addiction to solvents for about a year and it is DEFFINATLY something you want to stay away from...

every heard thhe phrase one sniff can kill ?
it's true.
wether it's an addiction or not sniffing the lighter gas is NOT a good idea...
