Stricter Regulations on Laughing Gas Proposed by Health Minister

Federal Health Minister Nina Warken aims to impose a ban on the sale of laughing gas, particularly as a party drug. She highlights the significant health risks associated with its consumption, especially among children and teenagers.

Warken's proposed legislation seeks to prohibit sales to minors and eliminate online and vending machine transactions. This initiative aligns with the government's commitment to protecting youth from substance abuse.

Additionally, Warken plans to address the distribution of knockout drops, which have been misused as date-rape drugs. Her swift action demonstrates a proactive approach to safeguarding public health and preventing potential dangers related to these substances.

The proposed measures reflect a growing societal concern about the rising use of such drugs at parties and the need for stricter controls.
