Actually it depends on many factors. Some people just rot their teeth, others lose much of their mental capacity. Had a friend that Sniff Glue when we were young, he a nice person never start trouble, but, he real slow on thinking now and if we not around him for awhile he forgets who we are. Never makes it to the punch line on a joke either, because he forgets what he is talking about if the sentence too long. As far as physical health he great. BUT, just knowing what may or may not happen will have no bearing on getting a person to quit, they have to want too first.
