Britain bans 'laughing gas' to curb anti-social behaviour
Starting from Wednesday, a ban on the recreational use and possession of nitrous oxide, commonly known as 'laughing gas', will be in effect in Britain. The government cited the drug's contribution to anti-social behavior and health hazards as reasons for the ban. Offenders could face fines or up to two years in prison, and the maximum punishment for dealing the drug has been doubled to 14 years. Nitrous oxide is the third most commonly used drug by 16 to 24-year-olds and can lead to anaemia, nerve damage, or paralysis with heavy use.
