You can't "breathe in" dry ice, it's a solid.
It's solid carbon dioxide, so if you were to breathe in the fumes from it, the same thing would happen as if you breathed in carbon dioxide. Except that it's probably also quite cold. If you didn't also breathe in sufficient oxygen, you would suffocate.

What happens when you put cinnamon in dry ice?
When you put cinnamon it dry ice it adbrutly melts.
What happens when dry ice is warmed at 1 ATM of pressure?
When dry ice is warmed at 1 atm of pressure, it goes back to its gaseous state or form.
What happens when you mix salt water and dry ice?
If a person took dry ice into his mouth, he would kill all the tissue that the dry ice touched, and could possibly die. If you even touch dry ice, it is so cold that it feels like it is burning you. Imagine what it could do to the thin, sensitive tissues in your mouth and throat.
What happens if you put dry ice in soap?
The dry ice will sublime, producing carbon dioxide gas. The gas can cause the soapy water to produce many bubbles, resulting in an interesting display.
What happens to dry ice if it is set out at 45 degrees celsius?
It will explode due to a large Expansion of the particles
What happens if you put saltbon dry ice?

It exploits
What happens when dry ice melts?
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
What is dry ice and what happens when the pressure under anything it is decreased to the 1 atmosphere?
Dry ice is a solid form of any gas
What happens when dry ice is placed in soapy water?
it foams
Why doesn't the vapour created from sublimating dry ice change colour if dye is added?
The vapor created is not from the dry ice itself, nor is it from the water bucket you're probably putting it in. The vapor comes from water vapor in the air that is condensing because of the cool air. It's like what happens when you breathe on a cool mirror.
What happens if you put dry ice in your hands for more than a few seconds?
the dry ice in a way eats up your skin cells.
What is dry ice and what happens when the pressure under which it is stored is decreased to the atmosphere?
dry ice is carbon di oxide when pressure is decreased it becomes gas
What happens when you put a strawberry in dry ice?
It gets really cold.
What happens to the size of the dry ice as the bubbling goes on?
Dry ice decreases in size, because it is sublimating. This means it is turning from a solid in to a gas. Where as regular ice melts in to a puddle of liquid water, dry ice evaporates in to CO2 gas.
What happens when dry ice is warmed at 1 ATM of pressure?
When dry ice is warmed at 1 atm of pressure, it goes back to its gaseous state or form.
