Washington State Bans Retail Sales of Nitrous Oxide: A New Law Targets Convenience Stores and Gas Stations
Washington state lawmakers have passed a bill, House Bill 2532, to ban retail sales of nitrous oxide, following Louisianas lead. The new law, which awaits Governor Bob Fergusons signature, targets sales at convenience stores, smoke shops, and gas stations. Selling or giving away the gas will be a gross misdemeanor, except for medical treatments, food propellants, and industrial or car uses. The bill aims to curb rising misuse cases, including fatalities and severe injuries from recreational inhaling. Senator Drew Hansen, who sponsored the bill, expressed concern over the sale of such a risky inhalant alongside snacks and fuel.
