∙ 14y agoAccording to NIDA's scientists, the answer is yes. Permanent markers contain chemicals called solvents. When inhaled, these solvents can produce a "high." Like alcohol, inhalants (including Sharpies) can cause slurred speech, lack of coordination, euphoria, and dizziness. Unfortunately, the chemicals that cause these effects can also make you sick, kill your brain cells, and damage your nerves

There are toxic chemicals that are released from the markers that can kill your brain cells and get you addicted to the smell and the feeling that they give off. Sharpies have the same effect.

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.
