Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas sales to be banned, says Gove

[Brew_DD2]

It is exactly that and it is legal unlike breathing in laughing gas there is also a guideline of how many units per week its safe to drink no such guideline for breathing in laughing gas.

You appear to be on a mission to prove my views on this wrong believe me you are wasting your time.

The guidelines have no basis in science, hence the wild variation country to country.

I’d also point out that the guidelines are irrelevant, what are people actually consuming in the UK?

what are people actually consuming in the UK?

Way to much, and i am as guilty as the next person, i enjoy a tipple or 3 but not to the point were i am non functional

Ha ha, me too. I consider myself doing well cos I’m now within the guidelines. Unfortunately they’re the old guidelines of 28 units a week, oops

not on a mission, I promise.

I’m just trying to say that what’s right isn’t always legal, and what’s legal isn’t always right.

I don’t think that anyone should get on their high horse about their particular choice of poison, or judge those with different proclivities.

The fact is that in excess, or taken too regularly most things are pretty bad for you.

As I’ve previously said, this move by the government is a cynical, headline grabbing ploy that will change little other than criminalising children.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

You obviously haven't looked very far

I meant in the UK -

I am no fan of this government but no other government has stopped gun and knife crime in fact i would bet non have even manged to lower it.

The graph i posted may be outdated but better to have outdated guidelines than non at all, i wonder how many canisters of laughing gas would be classed as safe to breath every day/

 

[Chippy_Tea]

We appear to be going round in circles, my view still is if the ban stops kids breathing this stuff in and causing harm it'll do for me they managed to stop kids glue sniffing lets hope they can stop this trend.

Er, I was talking about my own alcohol consumption in reply to Rod

But it won’t stop anything, that’s the point

 

[Branny]

Never tried NOS so I might give it a go for a giggle.

Wow... I haven't even thought about people sniffing glue in decades! I remember being taught about it in those social education classes at school...

How did they stop them... Did they ban glue?

I tried propane once it was a good buzz and the big plus the tanks are massive

 

[MashBag]

So are we banning pencils next, to stop people sticking then in their eyes?

The issue that needs addressing is communities and youth centres and pay etc...

 

[Chippy_Tea]

How did they stop them... Did they ban glue?

They put an 18 age limit on the sale of solvent based glues.

And Gas from cans. Still widely available.

 

[Branny]

Kids will be kids. Ban NOS and they'll find something else. In my time I can remember various legal highs being used - Glue, Gas, Poppers, Magic Mushrooms. NOS will be replaced by something else.

Can't beat a bit of good old Brit humour
