Poppers: A Complete Guide on These Stimulant Inhalants Poppers, a term that may seem mysterious to some, are actually inhalants known for their immediate stimulating and relaxing effects. Used recreationally and sometimes to enhance the sexual experience, poppers have gained popularity over the decades. This article provides a complete overview of what they are, their use, effects, and precautions to take.

What are Poppers?

Poppers are volatile liquids, often made from alkyl nitrites such as amyl nitrite, butyl nitrite, or isopropyl nitrite, sold in small bottles. When inhaled, poppers cause rapid relaxation of smooth muscles, including blood vessels, leading to a feeling of warmth, euphoria, and sometimes dizziness. Initially used medically to relieve angina, they are now widely consumed recreationally.

How Do Poppers Work?

Inhaling poppers causes rapid vasodilation, which results in a temporary drop in blood pressure. This vasodilation allows for increased blood flow to the heart and brain, producing an instant « rush » and euphoria. This effect typically lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes, and the effects can vary from person to person.

Different Types of Poppers

There are several types of poppers, each with slightly different effects depending on the chemical composition:
  1. Amyl Nitrite: Often considered the strongest, with lasting and powerful effects.
  2. Butyl Nitrite: Offers a moderate effect, and is one of the most popular for recreational use.
  3. Isopropyl Nitrite: Known for its rapid but short-lasting effects.
