Laughing gas 'not just a bit of fun', says mother

A teenager in London died at the weekend, after suffering a cardiac arrest.

It is thought the 18-year-old had taken nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas.

The legal high is inhaled for a brief period of euphoria, but it can be fatal.

Leesa Davies' son Jordan also died after inhaling the gas in 2014. She now tours schools to highlight the risks.

She spoke to BBC Breakfast about what happened.
