Caffeine Inhaler is a dangerous Drug

Aeroshot is an over the counter drug that is packed with B vitamins and caffeine powder that resembles the shape of a lipstick tube. This caffeinated drink has zero calories and unlike their competitors does not contain chemicals like taurine or glucuronic acid. Aeroshot gives its users a one-time dose of 100 milligrams of caffeine with equivalence to 2 cups of coffee. This product is absorbed throughout the mouth and digestive tract to give the same effect throughout the body creating a stimulant in the mind that makes the user want to drink until they are unable to control themselves. This aerosol product delivers a thin powder into the air but is dissolved in the mouth for the effect to take place.

              

Although Aeroshot claims that the product is safe but should not be used by children under the age of 12 because of the high dosage of caffeine. Because of similar concepts in the past with identical effects, it stirs up high concern for the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) because the products have tied to hospitalization and deaths in the past. Another health risk that raises eyebrows is that is can create neurological and cardiovascular problems.

            In the past there have been many attempted alternatives to drinking coffee. Alongside with coffee, other products offered to create the same effect are caffeine pills and energy drinks. These products are heavily utilized but not as much as coffee because people prefer to drink the coffee, possibly because of the psychological elements that make people feel like their not using drugs. Aeroshot will be shipped from Europe and sold in Boston and New York first and also online in January of 2012. The product will sell at about $3 and $8 for a three pack.
