There have reportedly been 17 deaths in the last 9 years, the majority of which have been from people hurting themselves while falling over as opposed to the substance directly causing them harm. There are probably substances in your house right now that cause more damage than this.
This is why I'm so glad I'm a rubbish actor and therefore not a soap star, the media scrutiny is ridiculous (OK so it hasn't stopped the likes of Antony Cotton but you get my point ...).
Although it's a stupid thing to do, Lorna has done nothing illegal. But she's still slated for it. Alcohol kills as well but you don't see bosses "fuming" when one of the stars gets a bit drunk.

I think they do get fuming when a cast member gets drunk. A lot is at stake when they are drunk, such as revealing secrets about storylines and stuff. It's all about responsibility in business.
A few months ago Emmerdale did a storyline about legal highs. They may be legal but they're still dangerous. One character was fine with them but another one (a 14 year old who was also the dealer) took one, had a seizure and ended up in hospital. Incidentally the dealer was Lachlan who sexually assaulted Alicia recently!
19 year old girl takes laughing gas. Shock horror! People only get rushed to hospital if they're doing balloon after balloon of the stuff. Two balloons isn't going to hurt her. It might be dangerous in large amounts yes, but so is alcohol. Hope she doesn't get in trouble for this.

According to the article she was also drunk - all in all not a very good advert for EE. And before anyone says it's nothing to do with EE, when you're in a high profile soap then unfortunately it is and the producers have every right to be angry.
She's allowed to get drunk nothing wrong with that. This may be a legal high but it comes with some controversy and its always best for someone in the public eye to be seen not doing things like this.
It's like pretend drugs for kids all this stuff. Bit sad really.
I'm sorry I don't mean to sound ignorant, but is this not the same as people sucking the helium out of balloons? That happens every week at wedding receptions and parties up and down the country isn't it?
The amount of times I've seen my Granddad drunkenly sucking on a balloon and doing stupid impressions....I wouldn't consider him to be drug user.

They'll either give a warning or may even go hard on her and suspend her but I can't really see them doing that since she hasn't done anything illegal, idiotic but not illegal.
Seems the most common risk is falling over. Maybe they should put that warning on every bottle of alcohol too.”
Yup - it's also the same substance millions of women (including myself) have used as firstline analgesia during childbirth - for hours at a time. My midwives handed it to me on both occasions - I think I could technically call them my dealers?!

Most likley. We know he made sleazy videos so what else he does could be anything but just from that you can tell he's abit dodgy so it wouldn't surprise me.
