Nitrous Oxide Inhalation Prevention Act

This bill would require the Food and Drug Administration to regulate products containing nitrous oxide, with exceptions for whipped cream canisters not marketed for inhalation and for medical or dental drugs. It would require warning labels, ban flavored products and bright or cartoon packaging, limit food-use containers to 8 grams, and bar sales to anyone under 21. Retailers would have to check photo ID, keep products locked and out of public view, and not sell most products between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. The bill sets civil fines for violations and creates federal grants for education, prevention, and training programs on nitrous oxide misuse.
