The dealers and users don't help themselves with discarding the canisters all over the street.
Society doesn't help itself by failing to provide non-street spaces for users.
You mean like the houses where they live?
Nitrous is only ever used by kids who reckon they're in gangs anyway. It's hardly a hardcore drug. They all actually do have some place to go they just prefer to hang around on the streets being annoying.
Completely false and very presumptuous.
Teenagers usually don't have houses of their own. Usually they live with their parents and don't want to get high around their parents.
Where? Where could teenagers take nitrous oxide together and without their parents? As far as I know, society provides no such spaces.
