At the end of the 70s they sang the ramones<\/strong> that of Now I wanna sniff some glue, now I want to have something to do<\/em> (“Now I want to sniff glue, now I want to have something to do”), mythical teen drug apology<\/strong> which, it seems, is still very current. At least in the city of the Ramones.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starting today, throughout the state of New York,<\/strong> The sale of cans of whipped cream to minors under 21 is prohibited. The reason? Teenagers are using them to inhale the nitrogen oxides<\/strong> (NO2) they contain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This gas is not illegal, and has multiple applications, both in the food industry<\/strong> as in medicine, where it has been used as an anesthetic for decades. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Specifically, in cream cans it is used both to preserve cream and to whip it: the molecules of the cream are injected with nitrous oxide when the dispenser is pressed, resulting in a much fluffier texture<\/strong> and a more voluminous aesthetic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But, inhaled separately, NO2 causes a momentary euphoric effect<\/strong>which usually causes hysterical laughter, which is why it is also known as “laughing gas”. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NO2 is not as dangerous to health as glue, let alone other recreational drugs<\/strong>but consumed in excess causes hallucinations, dizziness, headaches and mental fatigue. <\/p>\n
