The correct response is: **They signal that a chemical is replacing the oxygen the user is breathing.**
Inhalants can displace oxygen in the lungs and bloodstream, leading to a lack of oxygen (hypoxia), which can result in serious health consequences, including damage to the brain and other organs, loss of consciousness, and even death. The feelings of excitement or giddiness can be misleading, as they may mask the dangerous effects of oxygen deprivation.
