Huffing Duster

Today, while I was watching my idiot (never-want-to-talk-to-again, tried-to-skip-rent, etc) roomate pack, he inhaled a lung full of air duster before he tossed the can into the box.
I was shocked, I've never known anyone dumb enough to use inhalants other than nitrous. I figured it was common knowledge that they usually contain propellants that are neurotoxic, and can cause instantaneous cardiac arrest.
However, he asserted that "It's just dumb kids that sit there huffing whole cans or doing it often that get killed"
Now, he did do it from a distance, and not directly, so he was probably getting 50/50 air/duster ratio. His belief is that the high comes from deprivation of oxygen, caused by the heavier-than-air gas that occupies the lungs when you inhale it. While I think this is probably true in and of it's own, isn't the chemical itself (propellants... tetra-something-flouro-something... I can't remember?) being taken up and into the bloodstream and brain? I assume both asphyxiation and nuerotoxicity of this activity would combine to cause brain and lung damage.
My main thing with his idea is that people who hold their breath for a high don;t get that high, and they also don't have instant cardiac arrest. They usually last the 3-5 minutes of oxygen their blood supply has before that happens. My understanding is that in the bad cases, inhaling this stuff just causes you to have a heart failure the moment it hits your brain.
I think he's wrong, and I think he's gonna be dead, which is awesome because he's a total choadfag. I don't even have to fight him, he's gonna be croaked before I'm 30 at this rate.

Of the guy? I'm sorry I should have written a whole Something-Awful style piece about him and his disgusting/mentally handicapped friends with pics while I had the chance, but fortunately for me I am moving out tommorrow to get my own place.
It would have been funny. One time we had a kegger, and it was kind of a flump at maybe a trickle making 30 people or so constant until maybe 2, and then the very next day he decided to have a "kegger"
We sold him our extra keg for 80$ OF COORS LIGHT WITH TAP SHELL DRUM AND ICED.
(we were expecting a steady 50+ to 100 peak occupants, and it has happened here before, but on that particular night lots of parties spread the partygoers thin. It happens in collegetown. No big)
Anyway he invites his friends from 4.5 hours away over, and about 7 equally hobbit-like dudes show up, and maybe two fat chicks. One chick looked alright, and she's a cool gal, but she's got a kid- so.... doesn't count, ya kno? Then they all got upset at me for not just phoning in another kegger (as if I could just throw a kegger twice in a row).
Anyway come 1 he's managed to wrangle perhaps two dozen deadbeats into our apartment, and they're passing around more paraphanalia than cheech and chong have in their houses combined with all dirty schwag weed. I load my last little one hit bowl and let the baby mama have a hit some something actually pleasant, and pass out.
I wake up at 3. There are people in my apartment I don't know, doing drugs i've never seen, and the roomate is gone. I throw them out. Then I realize my dope is gone.
You get the picture
