In a recent episode of the Non Profit Podcast Network, Heidi Sanborn, Executive Director and CEO of the National Stewardship Action Council (NSAC), joined host Jeff Holden to discuss the growing risks of nitrous oxide misuse and what it will take to address them.
🎧 Listen here: Not Just Whipped Cream: Nitrous Oxide Abuse Kills
What This Conversation Makes Clear
Nitrous oxide is often misunderstood and that misunderstanding is contributing to real harm.
Legal doesn’t mean safe. What was designed for culinary use is now widely misused, often with serious consequences for individuals and communities.
Without enforcement, legislation falls short. Effective policy requires more than passage. It requires clear implementation, enforcement pathways, and coordination across agencies and communities to ensure intended outcomes are achieved.
These realities are driving action.
Advancing Solutions Through Policy
NSAC is co-sponsoring legislation to address these challenges head-on.
California’s SB 936 is designed to close critical gaps, strengthen accountability, and better protect public health and safety from the misuse of nitrous oxide products.
The Missing Piece: Real Stories from Real People
Data and policy frameworks are essential, but they are not enough on their own.
Behind the issue are real experiences:
Families navigating loss
Communities responding to increased misuse
Workers and first responders facing new and evolving risks
These perspectives are critical to shaping policies that work in practice and protect people.
We’re inviting individuals, communities, and professionals to share their experiences related to nitrous oxide misuse.
Your story can:
Inform stronger, more effective policy
Support faithful implementation
Elevate the real-world impacts often missing from the conversation
