HB 1341—and its companion bill in the Senate—would make it illegal for licensed dealers to sell any amount of nitrous oxide from the dealer’s premises. The prohibition, however, would not apply to places like grocery stores or supermarkets, where nitrous oxide is used in products as a propellant.

Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis and Lt. Gov. Jay Collins joined law enforcement officials on Tuesday to announce a statewide operation cracking down on the sale of nitrous oxide.

In November 2024, a 29-year-old Lake County woman died in her car behind a smoke shop. Her family said it was because of her addiction to nitrous oxide products.
