Compression of the carotid artery can cause loss of consciousness within seconds, whereas suffocation causes prolonged agony and you have no complete control over where the pressure is applied.
Yes and therefore I hope people who hang themself fully that they'll place the noose above adams apple NOT below because if placed below that would be a terrible death..many hanging videos show what happens when hanging is done the wrong way.

It does full compression of the carotid arteries. Placing the noose high on the neck just below the jaw will cause unconsciousness within seconds and death within about 5 to 10 minutes.

In full hanging, the body's weight compresses the neck, cutting off blood flow to the brain. This causes rapid loss of consciousness within seconds, and death from lack of oxygen if consciousness is not regained. Neck fractures are rare except in long-distance hangings.
