Poppers are mostly used at clubs, parties and house parties to enhance and enjoy the experience and also used by many during sex.

Poppers are for everyone, they give you an enjoyable high that are not specifically for one type of person. Everyone should be able to enjoy them.
What were poppers originally used for?
Amyl nitrite has been used for decades. Pharmaceutical grade amyl was manufactured and sold in small glass capsules, which were crushed to release the vapour. This coined the name ‘poppers’, which came from the popping sound made from crushing the capsule.
Amyl nitrite was used to combat the effects of cyanide poisoning in the 1930’s. In the US, cyanide poisoning kits STILL contain amyl nitrite, which changes iron in the blood to a molecule that cyanide can bind to and then s excreted from the body.
It is less often used now because most cases of cyanide poisoning come from house fires rather than actual direct contact with the poison.
