Christopher Martinez, 17

Denver, Colorado

Is another survivor who suffers from his use of air duster. Chris started huffing air duster at age 11 and nearly died last year when he passed out alone in his room. when his mom came home from work she saw Chris slumped over his computer desk and with an air duster can in his lap. she quickly called 911 and paramedics quickly arrived at their house and revived him in the emergency room. Chris survived but lost a portion of his brain. Chris had to learn to walk and speak again but his doctor believes that he will never fully recover. Chris isn't even able to go to his school with his friends. He now is in a special needs program but will graduate later this year. Last month Chris release a statement to the public saying "air duster isn't a good thing. i was using it and i thought i was really cool and alot of girls liked me and now i cant be smart like i used to be no more" it is sad seeing what kids will go through to fit in with the cool crowd I hope for the best for this poor child.
