There will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, for example in medical or catering industries. The gas is commonly used as a painkiller and for producing whipped cream in cooking.

Footballers are going to hate this. It’s an easy way to get high (for fun, not for performance) without being busted on a drug test.
Yeah, that’s why it’s being banned…
Hahaha. But yeah it’s not being banned because of that obviously. Just thought it would be interesting to add.
Well it’s not necessarily targeting specifically footballers but it’s being banned because people are using it as a drug. Why did you think they were banning it? For the lulz?
I don’t buy that they are banning it because of people getting high. That makes not one iota of sense while alcohol is still legal and much more harmful to your health.
This really is just another instance of boomers trying to get one last fuck you in to their children and grandchildren before they walk out the door.
Pretty much every bannable drug is banned.
You can’t ban nicotine or alcohol since people would riot. You can restric it’s usage though, and guess what, they are doing that.
And let’s not pretend that nitrous oxide isn’t dangerous because it is.
P.S. I don’t want to be involved in a debate about if banning drugs or gas or whatever is good or bad, since I don’t really care as long as I don’t have to smell the awful smells and gases. I am just pointing out that the government is banning it because of its drug usage and not for the lulz, like you two seem to believe.
“Restrict it’s usage” lmao, no. The restrictions on alcohol are not comparable in any universe to the restrictions on illegal drugs that you can literally be put into prison for using.
It literally does not matter that N2O is not perfectly harmless because nothing is, you absolute rube. There are OTC products massively more dangerous that will never be banned because the demographics that tend to use them aren’t widely maligned by the rich, old pieces of shit in power. That includes alcohol.
Fuck you if you think your right to not have to smell weed or whatever in public makes it okay to throw people into prison.
Yeah that’s possible or something, I don’t care.
They are banning nitrous oxide because they consider it a drug. Is that a wrong thing to do or is it not? Idk, I don’t give a shit.
Saying that they are banning it for any other reason is ridiculous.
Also the waste that comes from nitrous oxide is ludicrous but that’s another matter.
I just think tobacco smells awful when sitting next to someone on the train. Calm down a bit. Luckily smoking near train stations and near restaurants and other places with a lot of people is illegal in my country.
And I don’t think I have ever smelt weed
