Poppers are becoming increasingly popular in German-speaking countries. More and more people are using the benefits of substances to party uninhibitedly or enjoy intense sexual adventures. In situations like these, reaching for the next cigarette is usually inevitable. But does the combination of poppers and smoking pose any particular health risks?

Attention fire hazard
Poppers contain nitrite, a highly flammable liquid. This automatically increases the risk of fire if users smoke and use poppers in the same room. Everyone involved is playing it safe if they concentrate on one activity and do not consume poppers and cigarettes at the same time. When handling poppers, you are well advised not to dip a cigarette in the substance and then inhale. Then there is an increased risk of serious incidents or, if you light the cigarette, even accidents such as burns.
Never smoke poppers
It is also imperative that you refrain from smoking poppers. This not only puts your health at risk. In addition, smoking does not increase the effect of the substance. To avoid endangering your health, you should never smoke or drink large amounts of alcohol while using poppers. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents and allows you to experience the effects of poppers without hesitation.
The threat of unpleasant side effects
You may even have to reckon with unpleasant side effects if you disregard the rules for the consumption of poppers or consume large quantities of the substance. You also run health risks if you smoke poppers or smoke cigarettes while inhaling poppers. The resulting side effects are different for each person. Again and again, those affected report nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, depressive moods or a kind of narcotic state. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that smoking poppers may lead to acoustic hallucinations, cardiovascular complaints or orientation disorders. From case to case, there is also the threat of visual and acoustic hallucinations. It is therefore imperative that you refrain from smoking poppers.
Tips for safe ingestion
Please refrain from drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes while consuming the poppers. Because even if taking poppers promises you uninhibited and intense moments, your own safety should always be the focus. Only then can you enjoy the poppers without any worries.
