Sniffing mouthwash

A coroner in the Northern Territory has recommended changes to the way Opal fuel is promoted, after finding that a 12-year-old boy died in Hermannsburg near Alice Springs from sniffing the fuel. Kids have already turned to other liquids in their pursuit of a high, and many are now focusing on mouthwashes.
