Possession Of Nitrous Oxide To Be Criminal Offence

GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 25: A man inhales from a balloon at a summer festival on June 25, 2014 in Glastonbury, England. Nitrous oxide, or NOS, is a colourless gas sold in canisters, usually inhaled using a balloon. The recreational use of nitrous oxide, nicknamed laughing gas or hippie crack, has been on the rise in Europe and recently the UK government has made the possession of laughing gas a criminal offence as part of a general crackdown on anti-social behaviour.
