    It’s now illegal for people below 21 years to buy whipped cream cans; Check the reason
    As a result, in November 2021, New York Senator Joseph Addabbo put an end to the sale of whipped cream cans to children.

    Digital Desk: For most of us, whipped cream is just another kind of food. You might be startled to learn that whipped cream cans are no longer legal to buy in New York if you're under the age of 21. You will therefore be required to present your ID each time you want to purchase a whipping cream can. Who knows why?

    The cans have proven to be more useful to children than for traditional usage. Authorities discovered that young people used the can, a source of nitrous oxide, to get high. The cans, sometimes known as "Whippets," were inhaled.

    These have the power to mislead cognitive processes. Long-term use of these cans can also cause heart rhythm irregularities, heart failure, and even death in a matter of minutes.


    As a result, in November 2021, New York Senator Joseph Addabbo put an end to the sale of whipped cream cans to children.

    The senator said after the law was approved, "After receiving constituent complaints about empty canisters on neighbourhood streets, it became clear that access to and the sale of whippets needed to be restricted. The growing number of used whippets in our neighbourhoods is not only unsightly but also an indicator of a serious nitrous oxide addiction issue.

    According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, inhalants are "invisible, volatile compounds present in everyday home goods that produce chemical vapours that are inhaled to elicit psychotropic or mind-altering effects."
