    INSIDER It's now illegal for anyone under 21 to buy canned whipped cream in New York,
    officials say it's to stop teens from inhaling nitrous oxide





    • A 2021 law made it illegal for New Yorkers under age 21 to purchase a can of whipped cream.
    • The law is meant to prevent teens from inhaling nitrous oxide in canned whipped cream.
    • Some 1 in 5 young people uses inhalants by the time they reach eighth grade, per the DEA.



    It is illegal for New Yorkers under age 21 to purchase a can of whipped cream, according to recently-passed state law.

    The law, which went into effect in November 2021, is meant to prevent teenagers from using canned whipped cream to inhale nitrous oxide, otherwise known as "whippets."



    "Inhalants are invisible, volatile substances found in common household products that produce chemical vapors that are inhaled to induce psychoactive or mind-altering effects," according to a US Drug Enforcement Administration factsheet.

    Approximately 1 in 5 young people have used inhalants like whippits by the time they reach eighth grade, the DEA said. Abusing inhalants can "cause damage to the parts of the brain that control thinking, moving, vision, and hearing."


    New York State Sen. Joseph Addabbo of Queens said he sponsored the New York law after receiving complaints of empty canisters littering the streets.



    "The need to limit the access and sale of whippits first became apparent after receiving constituent complaints about empty canisters on neighborhood streets. Used whippits piling up in our communities are not only an eye sore, but also indicative of a significant nitrous oxide abuse problem," Addabbo said in an October 2021 statement.



    "Nitrous oxide is a legal chemical for legitimate professional use but when used improperly, it can be extremely lethal," Addabbo added. "Sadly, young people buy and inhale this gas to get 'high' because they mistakenly believe it is a 'safe' substance. This law will eliminate easy access to this dangerous substance for our youth."

      There was a guy who I used to work with back in the mid 2000's whose son was addicted to inhaling compressed air, the stuff that you use for cleaning keyboards and shit. He was huffing it in his bathroom, passed out, and hit his head on the sink. He is now in a nursing home. I think he is in his mid 20's now. Shame.

        "Huffin" I think they call it.

        There was a little device of Nitro (back in the 70's) that was goin around.

        Remember trying it a few times, but it didn't catch on.

        Destroys brain cells I think (which might explain some of my crazy bets).

        Its amazing the crazy shit ya do as a teenager. ...........

        Excellent post.........................
