NOS balloons for everyone!

talk about retarded...on the very first line of the article in that link..."Brain injury and suffocation can result from lack of oxygen. When used as an anesthetic, nitrous is always administered in combination with oxygen. Never use nitrous in any manner that does not provide for adequate oxygen intake"

Of course they are going to say that. They don't want people suing them when they do one of the few really stupid things and kill themselves. A similar warning is found on just about every bottle and box you can buy at a modern grocery store. You would still think nothing of using the product inside. (beer, for example) As I said before, these things are only an issue if you are a complete and total moron. If you have even the slightest bit of common sense the warning is useless to you.

many stupid kids have died from this stuff by going into a closet with a tank and losing consciousness then soon suffocates! others have permanent lung damage from the cartridges and their throats and lungs suffer frostbite

No, "many stupid kids" haven't died from nitrous. Name ONE. Yes, people have died from nitrous in the past, but these deaths are very, very rare and are only the result of self induced stupidity. More people have died of a water overdose. (really, they have) You cannot get frostbite from a whippit unless you punch a hole in the bottle and then stick it in your mouth. This is equivalent stupidity to putting a lit firework in your mouth. There's no way around it, eventually somebody will be stupid enough to hurt themselves with the most harmless product and then you'll hear about it on the news like it happens every day. If you're not a complete idiot then you have nothing to worry about.

...and there are many other ways you can hurt or kill yourself with this stuff.

Name one.

Please, quit posting random shit you found on the internet like it's a fact you researched yourself. Nobody likes a parrot.

The link that Del posted did show legitimate dangers of Nitrous use. These dangers, however, could never be realized by the average user with a whippit and a balloon. Unless you're sucking directly on a full tank, like you'd find in a dentists office, you don't really need to worry.

This is absolutely, completely, 100%, totally true in every possible way.
