What are volatile nitrites commonly known as?

Whippets
Popper
Bags
Huffers

The correct answer is: Popper

Volatile nitrites are commonly known as "poppers." These substances are inhaled for their psychoactive effects, which can induce feelings of euphoria and relaxation due to their ability to dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Poppers are often used recreationally in various social settings. The term "poppers" specifically refers to the small vials that contain alkyl nitrites, and the name originated from the sound made when the vial is opened, releasing the gas. This distinction is crucial since it defines a specific category of inhalants used primarily for their intoxicating effects, separate from other substances with different chemical compositions and effects.
