Whipped cream

New York bans the sale of whipped cream to those under 21 so teens don't use it as a narcotic

The sale of whipped cream cans will be prohibited to people under 21 in New York, United States, in order to prevent teenagers from using it as a narcotic by inhaling the nitrogen oxide contained within the jars.

The local press reported this Tuesday that the law was approved last year, but did not come into effect until August 30. The person who sells these containers to those under 21 years of age is exposed to a fine of 250 dollars, or 500 if he is a repeat offender.

Citizens of that state who want to buy these cans of whipped cream will have to show a valid identity document that proves that they are over 21 years old, as is the case with alcoholic beverages and tobacco.

Nitrogen oxide, also known as "laughing gas", is used to maintain the consistency of cream and its use is not illegal. However, this substance can be extracted separately and provides a short-lived feeling of euphoria.

If nitrogen oxide is used repeatedly, it causes low blood pressure, fainting, memory loss, and even psychosis, for which the Democratic senator from New York, Joseph Addabbo, promoted the law after verifying the widespread irregular use of these bottles by teenagers.
