Does anyone know of an item (magic or otherwise) that act like a gas mask, preventing one from ingesting gasseous poisons and such?

Necklace of Adaptation?

There are a few other items that can help in specific circumstances.

There is always the old "hold a wet rag over your mouth and nose while you run through the deadly cloud"

2e's little brown book of wizards had a 2nd level spell called filter for this purpose.

From [3.x] Shax's Indispensible Haversack (Equipment Handbook) - Giant in the Playground Forums

"Auran Mask
Price: 60 GP
Weight: --
(Complete Mage p. 134)
Provides a +5 circumstance bonus against inhaled toxins (which stacks with Antitoxin), but this is easily overshadowed by 10 minutes of water breathing. Requires less upkeep than Air Plants. For longer durations, consider a potion of water breathing for 750 GP, which lasts for 10 hours.
Craft (Alchemy) DC: 25"

Sandstorm also has the Filter Mask for 1 gp. It works for up to 4 hours (can be reused, just need to do the laundry; so buy several of them like you would underwear). +2 on saves against gas-based effects and immunity to suffocation from dust and sand and immunity to the effects of magical dust (hurray, 100% immunity to the most broken item in the game, the Dust of Sneezing and Choking!)

Further, Sandstorm has the Mask of Sweet Air wondrous item, but it's grossly overpriced. For 147,000 gp, you get complete immunity to airborne stench and poisons and continuous water breathing.

EDIT: MIC has an updated Mask of Sweet Air that's only 2000 gp but also merely gives a +5 on saves instead of immunity.

Honestly, since there's lots of cheap stackable bonuses you can get but immunity is so expensive, you might be best off just getting a gigantic save bonus and taking the Steadfast Determination feat so you can't fail fort saves on a 1. Basically the same thing as immunity.

In a 3E game, my character and another bought a Bottle of Air, some tubing, some sealing wax, and some some clothespins. That was after we found ourselves shunted through a portal from an Atlantis analog into the elemental plane of water.

Fortunate that you found a store on the elemental plane of water.

With all those things.

Before you ran out of air.

That was wiling to sell them for less than your net worth, under the circumstances.

It was a sequence of rather improbable events, but the dice rolled our way that night.

That said, the DM did have a planned city in the center of the plane, not far from where the portal from Atlantis dropped the whole party. We had been under the effects of a water breathing spell, as we were exploring the ruins in the sunken city, but that wore off during our mad swim for the bubble city.

EDIT - Just broke out my Manual of the Planes. It was the City of Glass.
