France's Senate Votes to Ban Nitrous Oxide Sales to the Public
France's Senate has voted to ban the sale of nitrous oxide to the public for the second time. The measure, part of the Ripost bill, aims to curb the misuse of "laughing gas" which has been linked to increased road fatalities and health issues among youth. While the government initially proposed restrictions, senators pushed for a general ban, with potential derogations for professionals. Concerns about compatibility with European law were raised by the Interior Minister.
