Empty large size gas cannister of nitrous oxide / laughing gas lying on the street on 1st December 2023 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. It has been reported that these large cannisters, which are now illegal, are being used by young people in particular, but the amount of gas which they are taking due to difficulty in guaging the amount taken, is creating long term negative health affects. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, nitro, or NOS is now a very common legal high used by young people. The government updated the law to make possession of nitrous oxide illegal from 8 November 2023 if it is, or is likely to be, wrongfully inhaled, by classifying it as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
