Yes zone of sweet air is only in BG2. Only two real defenses to gaseous area spells in BG1, and then there's one that you'd have to cheat to use.
1) Magic Resistance- I'm not 100% positive, but that should help to circumvent the spell effects.
2) Saving Rolls- Get your saving throws to poison or death way down. By the end of my BG1 game my main character had something like a 2 or 3 versus death. Now in BG2 I don't remember what it currently is, but I know his save vs. breath weapons is 0, and his AC is -9 so with the right equip. he is the anti-dragon.

Last and certainly least the cheat:
- CLUA in a batch of Magic Protection scrolls and use them on the entire party. Make sure your weaker characters are away from the melee combat because the Magic Protection also stops healing magic.
