Note (General):
Picture caption: When people sniff things that are not supposed to be sniffed, very bad things can happen. They can get brain damage and forget how to walk or talk or even think. The worst part is that sometimes they never get better. So when you see Mr. Stinky, stay away. Never sniff poisons or anything that might be dangerous. Remember, people who sniff dangerous things have holes in their heads.
Note (General):
Verso of poster contains a letter from Bob Dickson, executive director Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and W.N. Kirby, commissioner of education Texas Education Agency, a description of inhalant use, and lesson plans.
