Nitrous Oxide has many useful purposes. It can also be abused like any other inhalant drug. First and foremost, it is used as a propellant in aerosol sprays (Hair Spray, Whipped Cream... etc). Secondly, it is used as a performance enhancer in racing vehicles. Finally, it is used by Dentists to relax and sedate patients while they are performing various procedures.
