Isopropyl alcohol can make you quite dizzy as well, which I know from using it regularly when cleaning circuit boards when soldering - but I fully agree with you that it's a lot healthier option than cellulose thinner.
I'm not to worried about my health since I've got much bigger problems at hand after being in an accident which put me in a wheelchair, and the surgeries I've had - and the ones to come - to get me out of it, and not mentioning all the medicine they've pumped me full with these 7 years... Cellulose thinner is perhaps the only excitement I get during the day...
Jokes aside, I learned quickly that a spray booth is a cunning plan and that ventilation is key. Tamiya extra thin cement is much worse for the brain than the thinner I'm using so regardless of what chemicals we use one should always be careful when exposing ourselves to solvents etc for longer periods.
It is however important to bring this up - especially for us beginners - so thanks for the heads up, and the recommendation!
On a functional level I'm really impressed how well the cellulose thinner works with Tamiya paints in the airbrush so unless there's a better option I'm going to stick to it for now, but I no longer paint without adequate ventilation which I initially did, and after the 2:nd coat I could hardly see what I was doing any longer... I don't know if it was the eyes, or the brain, that took the hit but it was an obvious signal to stop and do something different
