This prohibition does not apply to nitrous oxide used as a propellant in food products. The bill also mandates compliance with RSA 644:5-a regarding inhaling toxic vapors. Violations will be determined by the commission, with a second offense resulting in license revocation. The act takes effect January 1, 2027.
