Answer

What should visitors to Mallorca know about nitrous oxide on the beach?

Visitors should know that nitrous oxide use on Mallorca’s beaches is not just a party detail; it can be part of a wider supply chain and may involve legal or health risks. Seeing balloons, cartridges or discarded canisters on the sand usually means the problem is already affecting the local environment. The safest approach is to avoid involvement and be aware of the local rules and risks.
