Introduce stricter controls and awareness campaigns to stop nitrous oxide misuse

Closed 521 signatures

What the petition asks

We want tighter rules on nitrous oxide sales, stronger enforcement against illegal supply, and national awareness campaigns showing its dangers. We want the Government to act to protect young people and prevent more lives being lost to this potentially dangerous substance.
Too many people don’t understand how dangerous nitrous oxide can be, or how easily it can kill. I want the Government to act now with stronger laws, clearer warnings, and national education to prevent more deaths. Please make real change so no families have to suffer the loss of a loved one.
