What is the method of administering solvents and inhalants known as bagging?

A method involving intravenous injections
A way to inhale substances through vaporization
A technique that involves breathing chemicals from a bag placed over the nose and mouth
A process of mixing substances for oral consumption

The correct answer is: A technique that involves breathing chemicals from a bag placed over the nose and mouth

Bagging is specifically described as a technique that involves breathing chemicals from a bag placed over the nose and mouth. This method is commonly used with solvents and inhalants, where individuals place a plastic bag over their face to inhale the concentrated fumes. This practice allows for a rapid and intense high due to the direct inhalation of volatile substances, which can lead to significant health risks, including asphyxiation or other severe respiratory issues. Understanding this method is crucial for recognizing its dangers in addiction counseling and prevention strategies. In this context, the other choices do not accurately describe bagging. Intravenous injection pertains to a different method of substance administration, while vaporization involves heating substances rather than inhaling from a bag. Mixing substances for oral consumption is also unrelated to the inhalation methods involved in bagging.
