Well, you may not believe this but eating food is associated with choking on food. OK, we all have to eat, so the next thing is reduced sensitivity of the throat. Typically, a person -- a cigarette smoker -- in a steak house is drinking. He takes a large piece of meat, chews a little, it moves back in his throat and he tries to swallow (automatically). He chokes when the piece of meat is too large to be swallowed. Why drinking -- reduces reflexes and cuts sensitivity. Why smoking -- it cuts sensitivity of the throat. So live long by not smoking, not drinking too much (ha), take small bites, and chew thoroughly.
