Should we stay away from poppers

[Olddaddy]

Each to his own.

But this trip NO poppers for me 

Last trip bad throat infection not sure it was caused by the poppers or the ...🥒

But asthma definitely wheezing breath for awhile 

Watching YouTube some older 74yo  vlogger said he has lung problems caused by his daily use of poppers over the last 50 years and requires a oxygen mask 

Shocking stuff if it was actually the cause of his lung disease , but does poppers work for you ,any extra pleasure ,can you do without the bottle ?

I think and dint know but I think there's two types amyl nitrate and another

I thought they were all amyl nitrate. As a top, i haven't thought of using them. Articles  say they can be dangerous if you have heart issues.

Recently I witnessed a guy pass out a few seconds after taking a sniff of poppers.  Scared the crap out of me, I thought he had dropped dead.  I never had any desire to use them and surely won't ever use them after seeing that.

From the National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Inhalant abusers risk an array of other devastating medical consequences. The highly concentrated chemicals in solvents or aerosol sprays can induce irregular and rapid heart rhythms and lead to fatal heart failure within minutes of a session of prolonged sniffing. This syndrome, known as "sudden sniffing death," can result from a single session of inhalant use by an otherwise healthy young person. Sudden sniffing death is associated particularly with the abuse of butane, propane, and chemicals in aerosols. Inhalant abuse also can cause death by—

• asphyxiation — from repeated inhalations that lead to high concentrations of inhaled fumes, which displace available oxygen in the lungs;
• suffocation — from blocking air from entering the lungs when inhaling fumes from a plastic bag placed over the head;
• convulsions or seizures — from abnormal electrical discharges in the brain;
• coma — from the brain shutting down all but the most vital functions;
• choking — from inhalation of vomit after inhalant use; or
• fatal injury — from accidents, including motor vehicle fatalities, suffered while intoxicated.

Very dangerous is the combination of poppers with viagra etc.:

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppers:

Studies have proven that the combination of poppers with Viagra can cause a serious decrease in blood pressure and angina attacks during sexual intercourse, which can lead to acute myocardial infarction and sudden death.

[...]

Alkyl nitrites interact with other vasodilators, such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis), to cause a serious decrease in blood pressure, which can cause strokes, and low blood pressure leading to people fainting.
