A doctor has blasted the Government's decision to ban laughing gas - saying all it will do is criminalise "a 16-year-old with a couple of whip-its and a balloon on the street."
Michael Gove announced on Sunday that laughing gas is to be banned to stop parks becoming 'drug-taking arenas', saying discarded canisters of nitrous oxide are an example of people "spoiling public spaces".
He went on to say that drug can have psychological and neurological effects on those who take it.
