n. (plural of popper English)
Wikipedia
Poppers is a slang term given broadly to the chemical class called alkyl nitrites, that are inhaled for recreational purposes, including as club drugs used at dance clubs, and that are sometimes associated with preparation for sexual encounters. As a pharmacologically active agent, they are subject to interactions with other drugs, prescribed or otherwise (e.g., vasodilators such as Viagra-class agents, with potential for stroke or heart attack), and their use has been associated with fatalities due to misadministration, and with serious maculopathy (eye damage).
Poppers were part of club culture from the 1970s disco scene to the 1980s, and the 1990s rave scene made their use popular. Most widely sold products include the original amyl nitrite (isoamyl nitrite, isopentyl nitrite), but also cyclohexyl nitrite, isobutyl nitrite (2-methylpropyl nitrite), isopropyl nitrite (2-propyl nitrite, increasingly, after EU ban of the isobutyl form), and, more rarely, butyl nitrite; however, to the extent that they remain unregulated or illicitly used products, compositions and the implications of altered formulations on user health can change without notice.
