Well, before you had suppliers basically just having a tick box on their website that says, yes, I'm using this for. for baking and that allowed them to sell nitrous oxide and kind of get away with it so these changes basically target the supply of particularly the large canisters which is where we were seeing the most harm you know historically nitrous oxide has been relatively low harm in terms of drugs in fact it was ranked the lowest out of 23 drugs assessed in a drug harm ranking study But that was based on the kind of classic small silver canisters that people might have seen, which is kind of just like one dose. And the big change we've seen recently over the last couple of years is these really big canisters that are up to two or three liters that contain upwards of 200 doses.
