The legislation would restrict the sale and use of compressed air dusters (canned air products) by requiring age verification for purchases, similar to restrictions on other inhalant products, to prevent people—particularly young people—from abusing them to get high. Retailers would need to follow new rules about how these products are displayed and sold, and violators could face penalties. The goal is to reduce inhalant abuse, which can cause serious health problems including brain damage and sudden death.
