NITROUS OXIDE BAN
Like me, I’m sure you’ve seen those little metal canisters strewn along the pavements at some point.
Well these inconspicuous canisters contain Nitrous oxide, one of the most commonly used drugs among our young people today.
Current legislation bans the knowing or reckless supply of nitrous oxide for inhalation - but there have been calls for a ban on all direct consumer sales as part of a tightening up of the law— I support such a ban.
Heavy frequent use can lead to a vitamin deficiency that can cause serious permanent nerve damage and lasting paralysis.
But inhaling the gas directly from a large canister is particularly dangerous and can be fatal because it is under such high pressure and comes out extremely cold, which can:
Damage the throat and lungs
Halt breathing
Slow the heart to a dangerous level
‘Laughing Gas’ is no laughing matter. 
Let me know what you think in the comments.
