Why do we choke for no reason for no smokers and real answers plz thx?!


Question: The gag reflex in the throat, is the strongest reflex in the body. As a matter of fact, that is one of the ways that they can determine how much brain damage is done is if they have no gag reflex. We choke because that is out body trying to save our lives. Did you ever hear someone say, "that went down the wrong pipe"? That is very accurate. When something that we are eating starts to go down into the lungs, the body will gag to keep a person from choking to death. Choking is actually when no air can get through to the lungs and if a person continues to choke, they will eventually die, because they have no air. A person will cough and gag to get that stuff up from the lungs. So gagging is really a defense mechanism for out body's.

um, tiny dust particles.

because you have smoke in your lungs....
you can't breathe basically!!
so you cough/choke to let your body know it can't breathe
your lungs will turn black evantually and you'll have major coughing attacks every day
