Neither, inhalants, such as hydrocarbons (gas, spray paint, etc) are considered asphyxiants, meaning that when inhaled, they take the place of oxygen in the air and deprive your brain of oxygen, which causes the lightheadedness many people claim to experience. Huffing is very dangerous and can lead to brain damage, seizures, and death. Activities such as these are responsible for many deaths among children and adolescents every year. Don't do it.http://wiki.answers.com/Are_inhalants_depressants_or_stimulants#ixzz18Ev6BUcG

None. Inhalants are their own class of drugs, and their method of action is basically brain damage. They are the worst drugs one can possibly do for the body; heroin, meth, crack, etc. are not even in the same league as inhalants in terms of damage to the body and, more importantly, the brain.
