Or breathing air without oxygen. You get the sensation of pulling it into your lungs but it doesn't fulfill that deeper desire. You try to suck in more to no avail. Your desperate gasps intensity as fear grows uncontrollable.
At least with smokers they'll just be angry and uncomfortable instead of actually dead.

When breathing an oxygen-free inert gas, you pass out and die after a few breaths without any panic at all.
