There will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, for example in medical or catering industries. The gas is commonly used as a painkiller and for producing whipped cream in cooking.

    Is this the same NOS used to give dragsters a boost? Ok, that is illegal on most streets but a legitimate use on certain tracks.

      This is about its use as a drug, rather than its use in racing.

      Also, I’d imagine racing NOS isn’t as pure as the food-grade NOS people use recreationally

      Not sure if the medical stuff is the same as car stuff exactly, but yes, chemically nitrous oxide is the same as the car fuel.

      Its also not illegal for cars to contain it anywhere in north America that i am aware of. Its however terrible for street cars on a normal usage concept. Works ok for short bursts like in drag racing, but i doubt you would see it in a normal or even performance street car.
