A silly thing I did while waiting for stuff to happen.
Testing out the gas inside pressurized cans with whipped cream. Nitrous oxide, neat stuff.
Maybe everyone does it. But I haven't seen a picture of it.

spray whipped cream is readily available in every grocery store. I know more than I care to admit about northern NJ, it's there too.
The problem with this is not a question of legality, but rather a question of health. "Huffing", or inhaling the pressurized gas from any type of spray can is EXTREMELY hazardous, no matter what kind of gas is in the can. Aside from the pressure being able to cut thru the soft pallet or over-inflate some or all of your lungs, or freeze your lungs... The gasses in these cans are not meant to be consumed by the human body in large quantities, nor even in small ones. There's a reason you get light headed and dizzy and such when you huff a can, you're putting HUGE quantities of foreign gas into your body that doesn't need to be there, and you are essentially blocking the lungs' ability to absorb oxygen. The body then has to figure out what to do with all this suddenly unexpected garbage. In the mean time, not only is it absorbing the garbage, but it's preventing oxygen absorption.
Suffice it to say that huffing is one of the stupidest things you can do to your body.
I met a guy a few years ago, thru another friend. I was out with my friend and we stopped by this other guy's house for a quick visit. I walked in the door and was greeted by this guy sitting on the couch with a can in his mouth, and pretty much brain fried. His wife said out loud "I'll buy you another can if you vacuum the house." This was the first time I'd ever heard of this. Suffice it to say he died, IN MID BREATH, about a month later. I did some research on this, since I'd never heard of it before, and well yeah... if you need more proof it's unbelievably stupid, go do a google search for "Huffing" and read the reports of the number of deaths.
PS - this is not an attack on the picture, people do and enjoy many things in fantasy art that they cannot or would not do in real life, and I am no different. That's why it's called "FANTASY" art. This is why video games are so popular, one can do things freely that cannot be done in real life, like go on mass killing sprees, or become a pimp, or whatever. I have my quirks too. Hell, I saw this picture because I was browsing your art knowing full well what I was looking at, and I'm sure anybody who has seen your stuff can summarize it nicely in dark terms. We all have our fetishes and dark sides, and that little bit of hidden desire to witness death, etc. But as with much of your art, no matter the content, it's fine to fantasize about, Just don't take it to real life.
Consider it like this:
You wouldn't go out and kill someone in real life just because you saw it here, right? (just say "no.")
Then follow the same thought and don't take this one any lighter. Huffing is not a joke.
Fantasy is fine, it's the escape to make these activities entertaining and curious, and it's enjoyable to imagine yourself being part of the activity. We use fantasy to play into the part without the risk or danger of permanent injury. KEEP IT THAT WAY.
Note - Nitrous Oxide is only called "Laughing Gas" because it makes the user feel relaxed and settled, somewhat euphoric, and inhibits the body's ability to process pain. It's a dissociative hallucinogen. It does not actually make you "laugh uncontrollably". THAT response is well documented to be a psychological stigma that we EXPECT to happen and therefor MAKE happen. We get this stigma from things like movies and TV shows. In reality, N2O is an oxidizer that breaks down to NO (Nitric Oxide) on reaction with Oxygen. It's often used in high-performance racing, because it delivers more Oxygen to the combustion chamber than standard atmospheric air (no, this doesn't mean it brings more oxygen to your body!)
N2O is in small, controlled doses, safe and effective, and has been in use since 1794, such as is commonly found in dental anesthetic use. The earliest known recreational use was 1799, by wealthy British folks. However, they used the same administering machinery as the doctors and consumed the gas in VERY SMALL doses.
Blasting your lungs with frozen concentrated quantities (of ANY kind of gas, even Oxygen) from an uncontrolled source of impure gas is just... BAD.
