Helium itself is non-toxic, however, if you breathe nothing but helium, you are not getting oxygen. Inhaling a few puffs from a balloon is not dangerous, but continuing to do so without taking breaks to breath air inbetween can be dangerous. People have died from asphyxiation (smothering) by helium, but this could happen with any gas that displaces oxygen from the air you breath.
Potentially. While helium is inert and non-toxic, it does take up space just like any other gas. If too much of it forced into an area, it can displace oxygen, which is basically just pushing it out of the way. Breathing air without oxygen, regardless of what other gasses are present, can be fatal in minutes.
Kinda-sorta.
Helium itself is not dangerous. It's rated as one of the noble gasses and don't readily react with anything.
But if you're inhaling only helium, then you're not getting any oxygen. And humans need oxygen to survive. Basically you'll suffocate if all you breathe is helium.
It'll be a bit like only eating Styrofoam or swallowing glass beads. It'll fill your belly but won't provide any nutrition.
Helium is not Poisonous. In actual fact it is a Noble Gas, and thus totally unreactive. Divers use Helium in a mix when diving very deep, thus proving that it isn't poisonous. Breathing Helium alone is dangerous, as it excludes oxygen from your lungs and you can "drown" in the Helium. Helium is not Poisonous. In actual fact it is a Noble Gas, and thus totally unreactive.

Helium is an inert gas that does not enter into any chemical reactions. A a consequence a pure helium atmosphere will kill you almost immediately (in part because the partial pressure of oxygen is zero and all oxygen in your blood will be removed very quickly). However helium oxygen mixtures are used as breathing sir for deep sea divers to prevent harm from nitrogen narcosis and every child has inhaled the gas from a helium balloon to produce a high squeaky voice without harm.
The abbreviation for gas helium is He.
If you are a gas with two protons in your nucleus, you are helium. Helium is a noble gas known for being lightweight and non-reactive.
Helium is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic gas at room temperature. It exists as a monatomic noble gas and is therefore inert and unreactive. It belongs to group 0 of the Periodic Table of Elements.
Helium gas is a pure substance because it is made up of only one type of atom, specifically helium atoms.
Helium is a gas under most conditions. As such, it doesn't have a texture.
