"Order on the same day and deliver on the next day
" Why is Internet trafficking "laughing gas" rampant
"Laughing gas" is nitrous oxide, this slightly sweet colorless gas is mainly used in dental, surgical anesthesia, food processing aids and other fields.
The cream will expand about 3 times after adding nitrous oxide, so that the cream can be kept upright and the mouth is delicate.
Nitrogen oxide is added to the "air bomb" used for cream guns in some coffee shops and cake shops.
Under normal circumstances, consumers who purchase such gases need to indicate the specific purpose and provide business licenses and procedures for the use of dangerous goods.
However, the reporter found that illegal buying and selling of laughing gas has become increasingly rampant on the Internet.
A few days ago, a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily found that there is no need to provide any proof to purchase nitrous oxide through "special channels" on the Internet, and many businesses promised that "orders are placed on the same day and delivered the next day."
The reporter searched and found that multiple businesses claiming to sell laughing gas were distributed on major online platforms.
Although major platforms have successively launched the "Green Web Project", usually as long as you avoid sensitive words, you can easily search for relevant information.
In some cigarette purchasing groups, there are often sellers posting balloon icons with the text "Lightning Delivery".
"Addicts" can recognize at a glance that they are selling "laughing gas."
The reporter contacted one of the sellers named "Qualification Daigou", who had long used overseas agents to sell laughing gas.
The seller claimed: “One box of 10 boxes of laughing gas is priced at 400 yuan per box, and a half box is priced at 220 yuan.” The seller also said that the product is free of charge and the process is absolutely safe.
Subsequently, the seller simply asked the address, name and contact information, which means that the goods will be shipped immediately after payment, and the whole process lasts less than 5 minutes.
In the meantime, the seller did not verify the identity of the buyer and whether he was qualified to use dangerous goods.
After the payment was made at 4 pm that day, the reporter received the freight bill number in less than 3 hours.
The next day, a parcel was delivered to reporters by YTO Express.
The reporter found that the express delivery, which was about 30 cm long, was tightly wrapped in black plastic, and there were several circles of transparent tape wrapped around the outside.
The item is only remarked as "daily necessities" and also printed with the words "inspected".
Shake the courier lightly, and it will make a "ding-dang-dong" metal collision sound, which is very crisp.
The reporter unpacked and found that there were 6 boxes of laughing gas under a layer of cardboard.
The words "Best Whip" are printed on these boxes.
Each box contains 24 "gas bombs".
According to the seller, the "gas bomb" contains 8 grams of laughing gas.
After confirming the receipt, the seller enthusiastically introduced the use of laughing gas.
After carefully observing the express packaging, the reporter found that the express delivery address was Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province.
The express note shows that the sender is Lu Moumou, and the sender has left the contact information and shipping address.
After inquiry, the address is the address of a Yuantong express station in Zhenjiang City.
After making a call, the number belongs to Shantou City, Guangdong Province.
The one who answered the phone was a man with a Cantonese accent.
The man admitted that he was the express sender.
After the reporter expressed the hope that he would continue to buy laughing gas, the man said: "I have something to chat on WeChat."
The man introduced that laughing gas can be shipped nationwide because his "offline" covers multiple provinces and cities.
He also invited reporters to act as "offline" to continue sales, and promised to supply the "factory price" of 380 yuan per box.
Previously, the reporter's purchase price was 400 yuan per box.
"If you do a lot and you can get 100 boxes a month, I will give you a price of 350 yuan per box. Friends around me make more than 10,000 yuan a month with this ease."
According to the man, laughing gas is in great demand and is widely circulated among young people and has broad "market prospects."
He also said that he can "hoard the goods" first, and after finding the buyer, he will deliver the goods.
Through the express delivery information, the reporter then dialed the number of the delivery courier.
The courier said that because of the huge daily delivery volume, he has not remembered the specific situation of the express.
Some people familiar with the matter said that experienced couriers can identify these couriers as laughing gas at a glance, but they usually choose to "open one eye and close one eye."
Fan Guomin, a lawyer of Jiangsu Nuofa Law Firm, believes that according to the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals", the state implements a regulatory license for laughing gas and cannot operate without permission.
Therefore, prior to the completion of relevant laws and regulations, for unauthorized sales activities, the relevant personnel can be held criminally responsible for the crime of illegal business operations, and the "knowingly" behaviors of express companies and employees can constitute accomplices in the crime of illegal business operations; and For “licensed companies” that sell laughing gas to individuals and personal “entertainment use” behaviors, relevant functional departments should be given the right to fines, order suspension of production and business, revoke business licenses, and revoke administrative licenses and other administrative penalties.
Liu Qiang (pseudonym), a staff member from the public security anti-drug department, suggested that the source of nitrous oxide needs to be further strengthened.
Public security agencies should work with emergency management, market supervision and other departments to focus on the production, operation, storage, transportation, and use of laughing gas, and establish and improve the licensing, registration and filing, information notification and dynamic investigation, and joint rectification mechanisms of operating units, and clarify regulatory responsibilities. , Implement management and control measures to solve unclear and undetectable problems.
Liu Qiang said that the public security organs should base their efforts on existing laws and regulations and step up investigations and crackdowns on illegal operations of laughing gas.
For those that do not constitute a crime, promptly notify the emergency management department to impose administrative penalties in accordance with the "Regulations on the Management of Hazardous Chemicals."
He suggested that under the coordination of the party committee and the government, focus on chemical companies, neighborhoods, communities, residential communities, business districts, large, middle and elementary schools, bars, Internet cafes, cinemas, KTVs and other entertainment venues to extensively carry out the harmfulness and illegality of inhaling laughing gas. Propaganda and national regulatory policies have prompted the general public, especially young people, to actively refuse and consciously resist inhaling laughing gas.
At the same time, relevant departments should step up research on the application of laws and penalties for illegal operations of nitrous oxide and the abuse of nitrous oxide, unify law enforcement thinking, standardize relevant handling procedures, and provide clear support and guidance for front-line law enforcement.
