11-Year-Old UK Boy Dies from 'Chroming' Social Media Challenge

The tragic incident highlights the dangers of inhaling toxic chemicals, prompting calls for tighter social media regulations.

An 11-year-old boy in the UK, Tommie-Lee Gracie Billington, died after participating in the 'chroming' challenge, a dangerous social media trend.
'Chroming' involves inhaling toxic household chemicals to achieve a brief euphoric effect, but can lead to severe health issues including cardiac arrest and brain damage.
Health experts warn that long-term effects of inhalant abuse can include memory loss, lower IQ, and impaired judgment.
The family of the deceased is advocating for TikTok to be taken down and for children to be banned from social media to prevent further tragedies.
Approximately 684,000 adolescents engaged in inhalant abuse in 2015, with the practice more common among younger individuals.
