The misuse of nitrous oxide, also known as ‘nangs’ or ‘laughing gas’, has been linked to serious health risks, including neurological damage, vitamin B12 deficiency, and paralysis.
From November 2026, new regulations to limit access to nitrous oxide for non-legitimate use will start. The regulations will ensure businesses who require nitrous oxide for legitimate food preparation, medical, industrial and other lawful purposes can continue to access it.
Directly affected stakeholders will be supported to understand the new requirements and to implement the reforms.
