Witnesses watched through a window at an Alabama prison as Kenneth Eugene Smith became the nation's first person to be put to death using nitrogen gas.
There’s nothing described here that is inconsistent with “he held his breath as long as possible”.
That is the major flaw with this method of execution. The person can choose to hold their breath and be absolutely miserable for several minutes before they involuntarily breathe in the nitrogen.

Show me an untrained person that can hold their breath “for several minutes”.
I probably could if, y’know, my life depended on it.
Me. It seems to vary a lot, but I managed to get 2 and a half minutes a few months ago. Most of the time I average about a minute though.
Do I count as untrained if it’s just my fetish and hobby?
lol.
I could submit to more training so it counts.
Pretty much everyone can.
Most people stop when it starts to hurt, but it takes several minutes of holding your breath before you pass out.
Please do just like, a hair of research before saying random shit like it’s true.
Ok. This is a scenario that, while obvious, didn’t think of before. Man, that sucks.
