Laughing Gas Under Fire | Portland News

Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

A new federal bill, backed by Senator Ron Wyden, aims to crack down on the dangerous rise of nitrous oxide misuse—with poisoning cases skyrocketing from 28 in 2003 to over 400 this year and deaths up 500% since 2010. The Nitrous Oxide Inhalation Prevention Act would establish national rules, ban flavored cartridges, restrict youth-targeted marketing, and fund prevention efforts—building on Oregon’s existing 18+ purchase law to stop kids from accessing this “laughing gas” before it’s too late.
