The study was conducted to obtain information on the recreational use of the vasodilators (RVs) amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite in Toronto. The results of 70 interviews (40 complete) indicate that sniffing these RVs gives a 'high' lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes with headache being the most common side effect. None of the more serious side effects mentioned in the literature were reported. RVs are used chiefly in conjunction with sexual activities and dancing. Their use is currently a craze amongst the male homosexual population.
开展这项研究是为了获取有关多伦多市亚硝酸戊酯和亚硝酸丁酯这两种血管舒张剂用于消遣目的的信息。70次访谈（40次完整访谈）的结果表明，吸食这些血管舒张剂会产生持续数秒至数分钟的“兴奋感”，最常见的副作用是头痛。文献中提及的更严重的副作用均未被报告。血管舒张剂主要与性行为和跳舞一起使用。目前，它们在男同性恋人群中使用成风。
