Of course, CO2's poisonous, but I'd imagine that if Denmark was that uptight about CO2, they'd make breweries illegal... and we know they're not doing that.
Dunno exactly when it was made illegal for private individuals to use it in Denmark - but it is because of the potential dangers.. I can only guess that someone had an accident with it and that the media ran with it until the politicians had to do something..

btw, even joking about shutting down our breweries is a punishable offence!
