Inhalable caffeine could be the next club drug

Move over Starbucks, there's a new caffeine fix in town.

People are starting to inhale their caffeine. They're called AeroShots. It's basically a lipstick-sized tube that sprays about 100 milligrams of caffeine into your mouth, which is about the same amount of caffeine in a large cup of coffee. It is being marketed as a diet drug and it's calorie-free.

We asked Doctor Shan Yin the medical director of Cincinnati's Poison Center.

"Some of the risks from too much caffeine could be heart palpitations, heart beating, faster heart skipping a beat.  For somebody who had a heart problem that could lead to more serious heart rhythms even potentially a heart attack," explained Dr. Yin.

There's growing concern from medical experts and congress that this could become a "club drug".  And as Dr. Yin explained, the health risks greatly increased when it is used while binge drinking.  

A single inhaler costs 2.99.  It's on store shelves in Massachusetts and New York.  It is also being sold online.
