In a hospital room, Marie *, a 26-year-old waitress, deprived of a job since the first confinement, explains inhaling nitrous oxide several times a day. She now suffers from numbness in her arms, tremors, pain in the neck comparable to electric shocks, falling asleep …
Consumption exploded during the health crisis
According to medical studies, the consumption of laughing gas has exploded with the health crisis. Young people are bored, “we have to get away from it all…” Marie testifies. “Now, when we go to a friend’s house, bringing laughing gas is like bringing a bottle… With this thing, in two seconds we are elsewhere. “
