Student of the Month Breakfast
Whippets are making a comeback as TikTok videos of teens using Galaxy Gas are going viral. The stainless steel containers contain nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Galaxy Gas sells nitrous oxide canisters online in various sizes — and flavors such as blue raspberry, mango smoothie, or strawberry.
These flavored nitrous oxide canisters are available online through Walmart, Amazon, or the Galaxy Gas website without any checks. Taking a hit of nitrous oxide causes lightheadedness and dizziness, according to Dr. Brian Ruck, managing director at New Jersey Poison Control Center at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
Any inhalant abuse — whether it's huffing gasoline, keyboard duster, or Galaxy Gas — can impair motor coordination. Someone who uses nitrous oxide has a greater risk of falling and hitting their head, according to Ruck.
If you have any questions or are concerned your child might be using any illicit substances, please contact Ms. Jennifer Eckert at 732-657-8329 for resources and support.
