Stop Nitrous Oxide Abuse in Public Places

The City of Stockholm proposes to ban the use of nitrous oxide for intoxication in public places within the city's densely populated areas. This aims to counter increased use among young people, reduce public disturbances and littering, and protect residents' health. This new ban complements a national law effective July 1, 2025, which prohibits the sale of nitrous oxide for intoxicating purposes.
