Are you aware about solvent addiction or commonly known as “rugby addiction”? You are not probably aware of this term because it is only prevalent here in the Philippines.

Due to poverty, most kids in Manila’s side streets are abusing themselves with solvents, a some kind of glue known as “rugby”. This rugby is designed like a super glue that can be used in about everything on your household.

Kids (approximately 8 to 20 years of age) are using rugby as an inhalant, primarily to help moderate their hunger and overcome their depressed stature in the society. You an see almost dozens of kids in major streets in Manila inhaling this kind of solvent and it is not easy to watch this kids ruining their lives. This is the reason why they are called “rugby boys”.

Most of the time, this kids are associated with crimes, just to have funds for their unhealthy addiction. There are approximately over six thousand children who are using solvent as their past time. And that number is only here in Manila alone.

Like any other addiction, solvents have harmful effects on health. Let me enumerate it to you one by one.

Bad Effects of Rugby Addiction

There are big consequences if an individual consistently inhaled a substance such as a solvent. Curiously, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (one of Philippine laws) doesn’t include solvents as a dangerous drug. Rightly so because rugby is not a drug! So the rugby boys are immediately ignored.

So what are the health consequences of rugby addiction? Well, there are dozens of risks and these conditions are serious and may even cause death. Below are its risks based on WikiPedia report.

nausea
vision problems
memory lapses
motor lapses
respiratory discomfort
kidney damage
liver damage
brain size will be reduced
fatal for the heart
unintentional weight loss
tubercolosis
hallucination

If one refuses to discontinue this kind of addiction, he will suffer severe brain damage and will go straight into comatose and will eventually die. The toluene content of rugby gives this product that aromatic smell, which makes these kids so addictive.

If a user is moderately inhaling solvent, he can suffer from different psychological issues, which may also lead to depression.

Conclusion

Addiction is a disease that is not easy to treat. It needs the will and determination to overcome this odd habit. Plus, the family and friend support are crucial in helping an individual to cope up with rugby addiction.

Remember that solvents are not intended to be inhaled and the effects are seriously harmful to health. If you know someone who is a rugby addict, report the incident on your nearest social welfare office.
