War is declared. Because he could no longer bear to meet young people who suddenly became disabled or “kids” who were forced to use wheelchairs, the owner of a clinic in Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines) decided to bring out the anti-nitrous oxide artillery. He recently founded an association called “Stop Ballons” to fight against the consumption of this substance. This unprecedented initiative shows the devastation, especially among the younger generation, caused by “legal drugs” whose use can have dramatic consequences.
The general public learned of the tragic consequences on November 1, following the death of Mathis, a 19-year-old student, who was the victim of a Northbound driver under the influence of protoxide. On Sunday, November 16, an 18-year-old young woman was found dead in her apartment in Roubaix (North), where about thirty canisters of nitrous oxide were scattered on the floor.
