There will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, for example in medical or catering industries. The gas is commonly used as a painkiller and for producing whipped cream in cooking.

@RaivoKulli @TWeaK if someone hands you 10 cans, they’ve handed you 10 cans. How don’t you know?
They don’t need tracking.
(If a store hands you 100kg of cans, they’ve handed you 100kg. Audit would need you to weigh them and know their name, but little else.)
I’m sure shops will be happy to pay out of pocket for cans not purchased from them. You’d need some form of balancing in the system.
Like I said, seems very simple if you don’t really think about it.
@RaivoKulli (I don’t need to think hard about it, I grew up with it running)
Might want to give it some thought what it took to actually run it. I grew up with bottle and can deposit system but it would be a disservice to not recognize what it took to get it running and what it takes to run it now.
@RaivoKulli Why wouldn’t they be? If they sell a thousand cans they’ve paid a thousand deposits.
If they return a thousand cans they get back their thousand deposits.
The cans, as with R White’s lemonade bottles once upon a time, are fungible.
They’ll need a tin of pennies.
I don’t think you get what I mean. Customer buys from store A and pays them the deposit and returns them to store B who gives the customer the deposit amount. Store A doesn’t care, they got the deposit, didn’t have to return it to the customer. Store B had to give the deposit amount to customer even though they didn’t get the original deposit amount. See how it might be a nuisance to store B? That’s why you need some organization for the system.
