What the petition asks
We want the Government to increase the age it is legal to sell someone nitrous oxide from 18 to 21.
It is too easy for young people to get nitrous oxide, which is commonly abused and has been linked to over a dozen deaths in recent years.
It is too easy for young people to get nitrous oxide, which is commonly abused and has been linked to over a dozen deaths in recent years.
The aim of this petition is to make it illegal for anyone to sell someone nitrous oxide if they are under 21, to make it more difficult for young people to access nitrous oxide, and hopefully help save lives.
