It is never ever safe to ingest inhalants! Short-term moderate inhalation of properly administered medical anesthetics can be safe. However, other volatile solvents are considered dangerous inhalants since they can result in sudden death, and when used frequently they can cause [1] and chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy (CSE).
Unlike other substances, there is no such thing as safe recreational use of volatile solvents without medical use (street inhalants)—their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. Additionally, aerosol spray dispensers can cause aerosol burn and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). We strongly discourage you from taking any amount of these substances, even for minor experimentation purposes. Avoid them at all costs. Please see this section for more details.
