This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about nitrous oxide, but the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 (2016 Act) already bans the sale, supply, production and distribution of psychoactive substances such as nitrous oxide, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government to do, for example a petition calling for a review of the effectiveness of the law in this area or a public awareness campaign, if those are things you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
