If you were to inhale something deadly, how long would it take you to die?

Depending on what the gas or chemical is, Some can kill you in minutes after exposure.

Yeah you'll be fine. Unless you inhaled liked 40 pounds and it's starts blocking/shredding your lungs

Depends on how deadly your talking about. I read a story about a guy that cleaned some metal parts with parts cleaner, and then welded on it. He didn't wash off the parts cleaner good enough and when he went to weld, a puff of very very very toxic smoke went up in his face. Nothing happened for a few days then he got very sick and in fact almost died.

Well cyanide stops cellular respiration and thereby blocks aerobic energy production in these cells. So if you were to breath that in you would die in seconds.
