Why not use a (wait for it...) gas chamber?

Need more technical information

If you go to sleep and the oxygen is replaced with nitrogen ... do you wake up while you strangle / suffocate ?

Use helium.
It would be hilarious.

Helium would probably be funnier.

It's certainly low cost!

Dip them in liquid nitrogen then let the relatives fire a bullet at them and say: hasta la vista baby

This is a good thing. Reduces costs down to a midnight tank delivery from a welding supply warehouse.

Actually no, nitrogen asphyxiation doesn’t have the ‘panic’ that is associated with built up carbon dioxide levels. You just wake up dead.

What’s wrong with general anesthesia followed by a plastic bag and duct tape arounth their neck/head? That’s just CO2 and nitrogen once the oxygen is used up.

No. Anoxia produces a near instantaneous blackout.

You desire to breathe, not due to oxygen depletion, but due to Carbon Dioxide buildup in the blood. Air is roughly 80 percent nitrogen 20 percent oxygen. Your lungs exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide, the nitrogen just passes through. When you replace the oxygen with nitrogen, the carbon dioxide still comes out. You become hypoxic: sleepy, perhaps a bit intoxicated depending, then you pass out, then you die. No big deal, pretty easy way to go. Same thing happens if you lose pressurization in an aircraft at altitude. You can lose consciousness without being aware of a problem.

I have experienced mild nitrogen narcosis on a 120’ dive. Probably a more pleasant way to go than most of death row deserves.

I don’t suppose that radon could be considered for use? Got to find something useful for that element, after all.

I worked in a semi facility where a respirator line was purged with nitrogen. Through an error, the nitrogen was not removed. 1 guy died. IIRC, no panic, pain or anything. He just passed out and died.

Needless to say, the lock out/tag out procedure got audited.

NO.

Nitrogen is one of the industrial hazards I work with ... All labs with nitrogen supply (liquid or dry) have alarmed O2 sensors. That's the only warning we'd get. It's odorless, tasteless, clear (duh! Air is 78% nitrogen) and doesn't cause any feelings of distress when it exceeds safe fraction of the atmosphere. It just causes unconsciousness, and eventually death. The feeling of suffocating is caused by carbon dioxide.
