Although there may be a brief euphoria, the risks include nausea, dizziness, balance problems, confusion/delirium, and even psychotic symptoms for some. Inhalant intoxication, especially on a repeated basis, causes brain cell death, and there are numerous cases of individuals with persistent concentration problems, headaches (and many more symptoms).

Probably most people (who have used permanent markers) have noticed some brief effects, but it is the repeated use that becomes a problem.

Sniffing sharpies can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, and in some cases, even unconsciousness. This is due to the chemicals, specifically solvents, found in permanent markers that can be harmful when inhaled in large amounts. It is important to avoid sniffing any kind of marker or inhaling their fumes.

Do sharpies kill brain cells?

Not really, no.Sniffing sharpies very much can cause brain damage because of the specific chemical solvents they contain, in which case certain brain cells will stop functioning due to toxicity; this is most likely where this urban legend comes from.While it is not true, it is good to heed the warnings anyways, because though sniffing sharpies will get you high, over a longer term period they can cause various detriments such as weight (muscle) loss and depression.However, if you are worried about just using them, don't. I like the smell of sharpies myself, I just don't sniff them and I am fine.
