Answer:

Nitrous Oxide common use is also called laughing gas or happy gas due to its intoxicating effects when inhaled.

Explanation:

Nitrous oxide has significant medical uses, especially in surgery and dentistry, for its anaesthetic and pain reducing effects. Its colloquial name "laughing gas", coined by Humphry Davy, is due to the euphoric effects upon inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic.
