How long does sodium nitrite last for and where should I store it?

[calebzz1]

Good afternoon all, just had two simple questions that have been on my mind for a while now.

How long can sodium nitrite last when stored properly?

I've heard in various threads that it can last for a couple years but don't know the exact time.

Also, where is the best place to store it to be inconspicious?

Thank you so much!

SN is a lot more stable than what people think and can last much longer than 2-3 years if put in a dry, moisture-lock, airtight container and in a cool dry place.

I'd like to preface this to hopefully help people not make rash decisions due to the fear that their suicide method will go "bad" and they feel forced to take it before they truly want to. Freedom of choice means everything. There is a lot of misconception on here about how long both of these...

It will last if its stored right, out of the sun, in a airtight box, ect. For a hiding place, maybe just in a old salt box? SN is a salt after all.

It can last upto 5 years , technically it doesn't expire as it's a salt. As long it's in a airtight container preferably the orginal packaging. It might lose potency over time if not
