    Nitrous oxide is commonly used in whipped cream dispensers. But the gas, also commonly known as laughing gas, has a history of being used as a recreational drug .

    Galaxy Gas writes in a statement to News Channel Three:

    "Nitrous oxide is commonly used in food and beverage products and by professional chefs to create creamier, tastier cold brew coffees, desserts, sauces and more . The unlawful misuse of nitrous oxide products poses a serious health hazard. Galaxy Gas products are for responsible culinary use only, and we are deeply concerned about the recent news reports and social media posts of individuals illegally misusing our products. Both our terms of use and conditions of sale strictly prohibit unlawful use, misuse or appeal to children."
