As of April 1, it will be forbidden to use nitrous oxide as an intoxicant in a public place in Hultsfred, reports P4 Kalmar.
– It is an attempt to limit the use, says Lars Rosander (C), chairman of the municipal council.
The City Council in Hultsfred made its decision on the ban on Tuesday and the motive is to protect young people.
The government also wants to reduce abuse of nitrous oxide, with broad support in the Riksdag. On July 1, all sales of nitrous oxide will be banned for intoxication. Then it will also be punishable to sell nitrous oxide to people under 18. Nitrous oxide should only be sold in very small quantities to be used in, for example, cooking.
