Conservatives Face Backlash Over Ban on Nitrous Oxide as Move Criminalises More Young people
In a move that has sparked a wave of criticism from experts – but generated positive noises from the Daily Mail – the UK Government has declared that from November 8 this year, the possession of nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, will be illegal. Users now face up to two years in prison, while dealers – who could include teens passing cannisters to their friends at music festivals – face up to 14 years in jail, at a time when prisons are overflowing. Those not sent to prison face unlimited fines. The move is part of the Government’s crackdown on anti-social behaviour. But it has been met with stern criticism from public health experts and campaigners who warn that the substance will now move into an unregulated black market.
The Government claims the policy will curb the “heavy, regular abuse” of the substance, associated with health risks and littering, in a populist nod to voters upset at seeing NOS canisters on their street.
Crime and Policing Minister Chris Philp said the move is a fulfilment of the Government’s “zero-tolerance” approach towards anti-social behaviour and flagrant drug taking in public spaces.
