Governor Bans the Sale of 'Whippets' to Minors

From The Oakland Tribune in California

California’s Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a state-wide bill tightening the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide ‘whippets’ to minors. Under Assembly Bill 1015, submitted by Bay Area Congressman Tom Torkalson, young children and teens “will find it much more difficult to purchase ‘whippets’ intended for home use in whipped cream bottles.” Schwarzenegger’s approval of the legislation now makes it a crime to sell nitrous oxide ‘whippets’ to anyone under the age of 18. Of the 705 bills presented, a total of 478 were signed by the governor.
