What you are refering to is a hand cracker. As I mentioned above using a hand cracker can be dangerous as they freeze and get very cold. If you use a different kind of cracker you can inhale the gas safely without the use of a baloon and without the fear of freezing your lips. Take a look at an example of a "good" cracker.
