Nitrous Oxide cannisters to be banned?

Nitrous oxide: Possession of laughing gas to be criminal offence

Targeting the use of nitrous oxide is part of a crackdown on anti-social behaviour.

My experience:-

Couple of years back, I was travelling between Lancashire and Yorkshire on a narrow moorland road and there was a very expensive customised brand new Range Rover in front of me, worth well in excess of 100k.

It was weaving all over the road, as if the driver had drunk two bottles of whisky, and these small cannisters were being thrown out of the drivers window onto the road about one every thirty seconds. There must have been well over twenty thrown out.

I kept my distance as I didn't want to get too close, until he eventually turned of down a side road, how he didn't hit a car coming the other way I'll never know.

Makes you wonder what they are going to do with the kids caught stuffing it up their noses, it's OK saying it's illegal but what would the punishments be?

What are they actually used and sold for?

Are those little things any good? I did a whole big canister (longer than my arm) when I put my back out doing cleans and it meant I could get off the floor and walk to an ambulance, but didn't do much laughing iirc.
