A special operation on Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast has seized 18,000 canistars of laughing gas.

Warning protocols were issued to 15 people selling laughing gas balloons to stop selling the product to minors and indoors.

Specialists from Burgas police warn that the use of nitrous oxide can lead to disorientation and muscle cramps.

The results of the inspection will be sent to the prosecutor's office, and the Regional Health Inspectorate and the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency will also be notified.
