SN loses a competition with other hypoxia-related methods in my eyes. Here is my subjective comparison of various methods based on my understanding of them:

1. Complexity (the amount of details to be cared of)

Hanging: low
Exit bag with inert gas: medium
Plastic bag over head: low
Drowning: low
SN (w/o following the recommended regime): low
SN (following the recommended regime): high
Hmm, if how do you rate SN's complexity to be greater than that of inert gas?

Quite frankly and logically, the majority here wish they had sodium nitrite. It is a very easy and quick method. It is just a substance to swallow without any extra thinking or searching for a place Or high cost

Maybe because I'm kinda a tech-savvy who doesn't see a big challenge in connecting a gas cylinder with regulator and hose and tweaking the system, while following the suggested SN regime, that implies using several different aids for several hours, seems rather annoying to me.

The only noticeable disadvantage of dealing with gas cylinders I can think of is that they are heavy. The weight of 10 litre / 150 atm nitrogen cylinder is nearly 15 + 2 kg which may be difficult to carry for physically weak people.

I can't say any methods that are legal and relatively easy to obtain particularly appeal.

It's hard to judge what will happen with SN. People seem to have widely varying experiences with it. But- that goes the same for any method really.

It likely will be the method I choose if I do it but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it.
