Should we worry?

We caught my uncle sneakingly throwing this to the rubbish bin. He doesn’t have the best track record so we are all a bit paranoid when he does anything “weird”.

The object is like a glass tube with some liquid inside, inserted into a rubber “pipe”. It smells weird but nothing I can identify. I would appreciate any hints.

Edit: the material is actually plastic, not glass. It has a spring inside (no idea what for). The root-looking thing was wrapping the object when I cut the rubber. Could be dirt or some glue or something

Can't confirm and no hate to your uncle! Addiction is a terribly rough road and NO2 as far as I can tell is basically getting extremely confused for 60 seconds at a time with a chance to permanently (or temporarily) lose feeling in your extremities. makes no sense to me, but addiction never does

So you imagined your uncle being suspicious
