The main purpose of the Nitrous Oxide Safety Act of 2026 is to prohibit the sale of consumer products that contain nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas" or "whippits." This legislation aims to address safety concerns associated with the recreational use of nitrous oxide, which can pose health risks when misused. Key provisions of the Act state that, starting 180 days after its enactment, any consumer product containing nitrous oxide will be classified as a banned hazardous product. However, there are exceptions to this ban.
