        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.

          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.

          They all actually do have some place to go

          Where? Where could teenagers take nitrous oxide together and without their parents? As far as I know, society provides no such spaces.
