It can settle in your lungs regardless of how the room is ventilated. Not that most anyone will die from it, but these idiots wouldn’t understand what low oxygen does to a brain even if it were a worm in there instead.
It does not “settle in your lungs” because that’s not how lungs work at all. You can of course suffocate if the atmosphere is sufficiently saturated with NO2, but your lungs are more than capable of fully expelling water; removing a gas is not difficult.
Excretion: Nitrous oxide is primarily eliminated via the lungs. (source)
Nitrous oxide is primarily eliminated through expiration and is essentially not metabolized by the body. (source)
Yeah, everything I’m reading in this thread are all the same old wives tales that I remember hearing 15+ years ago all the time. These are DARE facts as far as I’m concerned, and they just propagated.
Goodness gracious, you mean to imply that the atmosphere is composed almost entirely from N2 and O2? Goodness, now what else can you make from those two atoms… Just can’t quite think of it…

Seriously, where are you getting your info from?

Removing a gas that’s heavier than O2 is in fact half of what they do

If you’re doing aerosol cans you’re already light in the brain department. Nothing of value is lost.
