  2. No person shall, for the purpose of causing a condition of
intoxication, inebriation, excitement, stupefaction, or the dulling of
his brain or nervous system, intentionally smell or inhale the fumes
from any hazardous inhalants or from any glue containing a solvent
having the property of releasing toxic vapors or fumes; provided, that
nothing in this section shall be interpreted as applying to the
inhalation of any anesthesia or inhalant for medical or dental purposes.


  3. No person shall, for the purpose of violating subdivision two, use,
or possess for the purpose of so using, any hazardous inhalants or any
glue containing a solvent having the property of releasing toxic vapors
or fumes.


  4. No person shall sell, or offer to sell, to any other person any
tube or other container of any hazardous inhalants or glue containing a
solvent having the property of releasing toxic vapors or fumes:
  (a) if he has knowledge that the product sold, or offered for sale,
will be used for the purpose set forth in subdivision two of this
section; or
  (b) unless there has been added to such glue a sufficient quantity of
