Accidentaly butane inhalation.

I was a bit drunk at a party and went to light a cigarette, but it was windy and I accidentally inhaled some of the fumes when the flame went out due to inattention.   Should I be concerned?  I've felt a tad out of it, but I don't know if that's from worrying about this or from the inhalation. I just don't know how toxic a gasp of butane is, and the internet is mostly filled with horror stories about huffing.

I'm with flipper336 on this one. You are probably fine - if you had a mild inhalation (vs intentional huffing) And stop smoking!  :)

Jay,
You will be fine if it was just a little like you said. The stories you hear about huffing are from extended use/inhalation. But just do yourself a favor and quite smoking. It will be better for your health and save you allot of money, and yes I did smoke for over 15 years.
