When my daughter was in high school (1984-88) one of her classmates
was found dead in the parking lot after huffing from a can of car
air-conditioner freon refill. Frozen lungs doesn't sound like a fun
way to go. I understand it's the propellant in the can, not the
active material, that causes the high.
