Does the trachea collapse when not in use?

The trachea, or windpipe, is a flexible tube that remains open due to its structure, which includes C-shaped cartilage rings. These rings prevent the trachea from collapsing, even when not actively used for breathing. However, the trachea can temporarily narrow during certain conditions or maneuvers, but it does not completely collapse. Its design ensures that airflow remains possible at all times, providing a clear passage for air to and from the lungs.

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.
