This is a question Bad Ideas

"Let's get all the fireworks and pile dog shit on top of them". I can't believe I actually said that, and I still can't believe I was the one who lit them and couldn't run away in time. Tell us about your spectacularly misjudged ideas.

That's just weird.
Broadly speaking, inhaling something gets it into your bloodstream (via your lungs) quicker than ingesting it (via relatively slow absorption through the gastro-intestinal tract, and first-pass metabolism by the liver) would.

So that would make sense if you were talking about something with euphoric effects. Paracetamol has many effects, but euphoria isn't one of them. If it was, we'd all be injecting Calpol.

See now, the thing about Calpol is makes you hallucinate root vegetables in all sorts of places...

Not so fast!
A paper 'The Common Pain of Surrealism and Death'
pss.sagepub.com/content/24/6/966

Which lead to the NHS publishing www.nhs.uk/news/2013/04April/Pages/paracetamol-not-recommended-for-painful-emotions.aspx

This is an interesting paper, on the effect of taking paracetamol on the effects of thinking about death.
Surprisingly, the study found a not zero effect.

This was dramatically overreported in most of the 'quality'* papers.
