Laughing gas cannisters, one of the most widely used recreational drugs by young people in the UK, are rising in popularity and getting bigger.
The small silver cannisters, also known as nos or nitrous oxide, holding around 8g (0.28oz) of the substance, are being swapped to a supersize versions, around 80 times bigger.
Experts say that supersize ones are riskier because they can lead to people using higher quantities.
Currently in the UK, being in possession of a larger cannister isn’t illegal or against the law. A government commissioned review is assessing whether further action is needed.
