What is the term for inhaling solvents or inhalants by soaking a rag with the liquid?

Sipping
Huffing
Chugging
Sipping

The correct answer is: Huffing

The term for inhaling solvents or inhalants by soaking a rag with the liquid is "huffing." This practice involves saturating a cloth or rag with an inhalant, and then inhaling the fumes that are released, often directly from the rag or by placing it in a container. Huffing can lead to rapid intoxication and carries significant health risks, including respiratory issues, neurological damage, and even sudden death due to asphyxiation or cardiac arrest. Other terms like "sipping" or "chugging" are often associated with drinking alcohol rather than inhaling substances. Using a rag to inhale fumes specifically characterizes huffing, making it the correct choice in this context.
