Poppers in this context refers to inhaled nitrites, and they can be dangerous. While they have medical uses such as for cyanide poisoning and for angina, there are risks when used as recreational drugs. They can cause cancer and also promote unsafe sexual behaviors. Poppers tend to have an aphrodisiac effect and act as a muscle relaxer (even acting on the sphincter of the anus), thus making unprotected anal sex more tempting. Other risks include headaches, erectile dysfunction, and chemical burns if spilled on the skin. Chronic users may experience eye damage and reduction of vision similar to macular degeneration.

Don't swallow poppers, it's very poisonous.

It is highly flammable. Be very careful if you are soaking a cigarette in poppers which some people like to do. Lighting it can have your eyebrows off.

It's best not to use poppers if you are taking Viagra, as the combination can drop your blood pressure beyond a safe point.

No, but they do have serious problems that become permanent if used regularly.
They were even thought to have been the cause of AIDS. This claim was eventually disproven.

Yes, especially if you also take drugs like Viagra or Cialis. They can cause your heart rate to drop so low that you die.
