The effects of nitrous oxide rely on how much has been inhaled, and the drug slows down your brain and body's responses. The effects of nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," include feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and serenity.

Hallucinations are when you perceive or hear objects that aren't actually there. In addition, nitrous oxide can cause short-lived but strong feelings of paranoia, a severe headache, dizziness that prevents you from thinking clearly, and dizziness.

Direct inhalation of nitrous gas from the canister is extremely risky, and doing so in a small area is even riskier. You run the danger of losing consciousness or dying from oxygen deprivation if you consume too much nitrous oxide. This has led to fatalities. Nitrous oxide abuse can result in a vitamin B12 shortage and a particular type of anaemia. Significant nerve damage brought on by severe B12 deficiency can result in tingling and numbness in the fingers and limbs. Walking may be challenging and extremely painful as a result. It may even result in immobility, and long-term harm may result. Choosing the right dosage to use securely can be challenging. If you possess too much, you risk having accidents or worse.

The limited evidence suggests that nitrous oxide use can lead to psychological dependence, which manifests as an increased urge to continue using the substance despite potential negative effects. Some individuals have reportedly experienced cravings or feelings that they want to keep using nitrous oxide, according to anecdotal reports.

According to firefighters, it has become "a big problem" how many people in West Yorkshire are taking laughing gas before they get behind the wheel and crash.

Some young individuals, according to Imran Ali of the West Yorkshire Fire Service (WYFRS), were inhaling as many as 30 balloons of nitrous oxide each day.

On Sunday, firefighters held a protest in Centenary Square in Bradford.

It was intended to draw attention to the risks of the habit. Mr Ali said: "The problem is there is no roadside test, and it leaves someone's system very quickly."

Firefighters used a demonstration on Sunday to show how people are pulled from automobiles after an accident as a warning that using laughing gas could result in serious or even deadly collisions. Nitric oxide has a negative impact on people's physical and mental health, according to Craig Kettle well, Bradford District Watch Manager for WYFRS.

It "can produce severe nauseousness, light headedness, and dizziness, which can make driving dangerous.” People use it as a party drug in pubs and clubs, therefore we need to continually inform people about its risks.
