Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is becoming increasingly popular amongst young people, with many not realising that this seemingly innocent drug can have grave consequences. Nitrous oxide has been linked to life-threatening health complications, and it can also impair someone's ability to drive safely.

WYFRS demonstrated the dangers of taking nitrous oxide while behind the wheel

The gas has a big impact on a driver’s co-ordination, reflexes and judgement and this video highlights just how vitally important it is not to use it while driving. We are proud to have joined forces with our partners on this video and we hope it hammers home how seriously we all take the use of nitrous oxide and the dangerous consequences it has for people in our communities.
