§ Mr. HowardThe Department of Health and Social Security has issued guidelines for shop managers listing the type of product liable to be abused by sniffing, in a manner similar to glue. In addition, Re-Solv, the charity set up by the industry, has issued guidelines to retailers which also list these products.
