How long does SN last?

How long does sodium nitrite last if kept in an airtight container and unmixed?

Thanks

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...

3 years is the commonly cited amount of time. but it's possible it could last even longer. but i'd count on 3 years just to be safe.

checked it out, and sodium nitrite should have a shelf life of at minimum 3 years if kept unmixed

Thanks. Maybe best to secure it now, even if I'm still unsure. I'm not sure how much longer we'll have access in the UK.

indeed. same goes for those residing in the US, as they are actively trying to pass a bill to make SN above 10% purity outright illegal - https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/4310 only a matter of time before it becomes law, since the house passed it back in May

and i'm willing to bet that the UK is gonna do the same soon, as SN is already a reportable substance there. so if you're at all thinking about using it in the future, or you'd just like to have it on hand, now's probably the time.
