trachea is soft tube. If air is not passing, it might break down or collapse.but the incomplete cartilaginous rings prevent it.think the trachea as a balloon.when air is passing the sides are not touching.when the air is taken out it crumbles down.

The Human Trachea has rings of cartilage around it to prevent that from happening. Also it will be reinforced so that it won't just collapse after a light impact.

What drug will block your windpipe and cause death?

No drug will block your windpipe each time you use it, so to say. However, research chemicals and synthetic drugs that haven't been regulated or even studied by the FDA have been known to put the user into cardiac arrest, which could cause death. Otherwise, if you are careless enough to block your windpipe with any other drug, you'll probably die from an overdose.
