Cover reporter Dai Zhuxin intern Su Xueqing

The name of "Smile" is a nitrogen dioxide. It is a oxidant that is mostly used in the food industry. After taking, the facial muscles will be out of control and form a strange dementia "smile", so it is commonly known as "laughing qi". Long -term "laughing" can cause people to depend on physiological and psychological, causing cognitive function, memory, and even brain nerve damage.

On June 24, the Sichuan Provincial Higher People's Court released a number of typical cases, one of which was a "laughing case". Cover reporters were informed that from the second half of 2020 to April 2021, the defendant Hu Moumou and Zhou Mou sold more than 50 people including 8 minors, including 8 minors without obtaining dangerous chemical business licenses. Qi ", illegally operated 227,020 yuan, profit of more than 60,000 yuan. After trial, the court sentenced two defendants to one year and six months in prison and fined RMB 60,000 to confiscate illegal income.

The case was ended by the investigation of the Pengzhou Public Security Bureau of Sichuan Province, and was prosecuted by the Pengzhou People's Procuratorate in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province. The court tried that the defendant Hu Moumou and Zhou Mou had two nitrogen dioxide in dangerous chemicals without permission, which had constituted illegal business crimes. The fine is RMB 60,000; the prohibited items, tools for crime, and mobile phones for criminals are confiscated in accordance with the law; illegal income that has been refunded will be confiscated in accordance with the law, and the state treasury is paid. Continue to recover.

In 2015, nitrogen dioxide was included in the "Dangerous Chemical Catalog". According to the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals", China implemented a permission system for hazardous chemical operations. In June 2018, the Beijing Anti -Drug Commission included "laughing" into the third generation of drugs.

According to the court, because "laughing" has a slight anesthesia effect, it can cause people to have some hallucinations and joy during inhalation. In recent years, "Smile Qi" has been disguised as a "suction ball" and "cream gas bomb". The group accelerates penetration and spreads, and gradually becomes a new profit tool for criminals. This case is a typical case that takes minors as a consumer group to seriously endanger social management order.

Professor Chen Wei of the Law School of Southwest University of Political Science and Law believes that "laughing" has been abused as the third generation of drugs, and its degree of harm is 1,000 times the first generation of drugs. In recent years, the trend of the aging and diversification of Chinese drug drug users has obvious. The trial of this case has strongly crack down on criminals walking on the edge of the legal. It has a warning educational significance for adolescents that blindly pursue stimuli and strange hunting. (Especially in entertainment venues and use of online platform sales), a remediation signal is issued, which is conducive to blocking illegal sales of such objects from the source.
