Bans the sale of consumer products containing nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas
This bill would ban the sale of consumer products that contain nitrous oxide, often called 'laughing gas' or 'whippits'. This means people would no longer be able to buy these products for personal use. However, the ban would not apply to nitrous oxide used in medical care, dental work, commercial food production, research, or as a propellant in certain food items.
Right now, consumer products containing nitrous oxide, like small canisters often called 'whippits,' can be legally sold to the public. If this bill becomes law, these consumer products would be considered banned hazardous products, making their sale illegal to the general public. However, the bill would specifically allow nitrous oxide to continue being sold for medical, dental, commercial food production, research, and as a propellant in certain food items.
