NO works better, because it doesn't cause a feeling of asphyxiation.
helium is expensive af, so it's not an option. (it's also basically non-renewable and we're probably running out of helium in the medium-to-far future...so not a good idea)

I thought maybe NO2 (Laughing Gas) would be more humane.
