How many of you drink coffee or have an energy drink to stay awake? I personally love energy drinks and drink them before sporting events mainly for that extra burst of energy. The beast is unleashed when I gulp down the liquid substance. I feel like a new person because of the high amounts of caffeine. Never did I think that there would be a product that you can inhale for caffeine. A new product just hit the market called "AeroShot." AeroShot was invented by Harvard biomedical engineering professor David Edwards. This spray comes in a small chap-stick size bottle and contains B vitamins, plus 100 milligrams of caffeine powder, about the equivalent amount of caffeine in a large cup of coffee.  This product went on sale about a month ago in Massachusetts and New York and is also being sold in France. The FDA does not have to approve this product if it is considered a dietary supplement. As we all know children abuse their privileges and often overuse different substances.  New York U.S Senator Charles Schumer is concerned with students inhaling sprays after sprays and abusing this particular product. Can this inhalant harm the children? This product is now in review by the FDA. The product sells for $2.99 at local gas stations and smoke shops. This AeroShot might be used as a club drug by inhaling the caffeine to feel the high and going wild at the clubs. Too much of anything is dangerous for anyone. If this drug is approved by the FDA, I will be willing to try it in replace of an energy drink. I like to take caffeine to help me focus more in certain tasks. I feel like I become alive when I consume it. My performance is improved almost all of the time. I will be interested in this product and I hope it is safe, but it will be hard to have people not inhale multiple shots at one time. The warning label does say to consume no more than 3 shots a day.
