Growing use of NOS in the UK is no laughing matter. #DrugsMapofBritain #BBCThree #iPlayer If you, or someone you know, have been affected by similar issues, the following organisations may be able to help: bbc.co.uk/actionline/

On my way home from Sandwell Hospital, spotted >8 #nitrousoxide cylinders by the A41….bumped into a local “I didn’t know what the stuff was, loads of it round here. I heard of teenager with neurological probs because of it” No prizes for guessing which Dr will have seen her 🤷‍♂️

…in fact a total of 22 #nitrousoxide cylinders on A41 to M5 Jn 2 (& another 1 at Jn 4)….there is no pavement so this will be from #drugdriving which is unbelievably dangerous (see this 👇) but difficult to prove as the new law focuses on ‘inhalation’ Good luck police!

The curiosity of young people is amazing and shouldn’t be stifled. However, it is society’s responsibility to empower them with knowledge as you mention, so that curiosity does not result in harm to themselves. But a national PSHE strategy for #nitrousoxide is still absent…

Very grateful to UKPHSci to have the chance to raise awareness of the neurological risks of nitrous oxide and showcase the workshops we’ve been providing. A clear national education strategy is needed for this preventable harm. N₂O: Know the Risks thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Despite law changes, avoidable harm is still occurring from #nitrousoxide. Nothing holds manufacturers to account. This tank = 250 whippets 😅 Despite risks of neurological disability, no nationwide education strategy has been outlined. Communities must educate themselves!

Ahead of #NewYear2024 if you or people you know use #nitrousoxide (aka #Smartwhip #Fastgas), please know the risks of nerve damage. Symptoms: numbness, loss of balance, weakness, urinary issues. Despite law changes, cases of nerve damage are still being seen. Keep safe!

Over #NewYearsEve Please please avoid #drugdriving from #nitrousoxide use…apart from risking jail, you’ll crash the car endangering all of us & even (without driving) serious risks of neurological harm 🎥

Like clockwork, #nitrousoxide cylinders appear outside the Barts Health Royal London Hospital and Barts and The London, Queen Mary Garrod Building after a Friday night. Very keen to make an awareness poster for this hotspot of using #laughinggas if local organisations are willing!
