Why nangs are no laughing matter

You’ve probably heard of 'nangs', the canisters full of nitrous oxide. The laughing gas can help whip your cream - but used incorrectly, it can also make you high.

The substance can be more dangerous than it seems - nangs have contributed to the deaths of 20 people in the last 20 years in Australia, with more potentially not recorded as coronial lab equipment isn’t always up to the task.

In this episode of The Briefing, Bension Siebert sits down with LiSTNR reporter Archie Milligan to discover how dangerous nangs are, and hear from a nitrous oxide seller who's using TikTok videos to marketing their product.
