A Georgia-based smoke shop chain was slapped with a wrongful-death lawsuit months after it allegedly sold a can of nitrous oxide to a man accused of killing a cyclist while high.

Back in March, Charles “Chuck” Johnson, 78, died after being struck by a car driven by Joseph Tillman, 24, who was doing whippets of Galaxy Gas while behind the wheel, police said. Months after losing her husband, Johnson’s widow Regina Johnson is suing the manufacturers of Galaxy Gas and the chain of smoke shops that sold him the product, claiming that they knew the product would be used as a recreational drug.
