it's long, drawn out, and afaik painful
Nitrogen only atmospheres actually kill fairly quickly, and without any warning.
That's what makes industrial nitrogen accidents so terrifying.
The pain of suffocating is mostly your body fighting to get rid of CO2.
Now, there was a prison that recently used "nitrogen" to execute someone. But they were dumbasses with it and didn't let the excess nitrogen and CO2 vent. It was exactly the same as just tying a bag over the guys head.
Not in the slightest painful. You'll never notice anything going wrong. Nitrogen masks have been tried and failed awfully. That's why I said gas "chamber".
