The main cause of choking in adults is typically the obstruction of the airway by food, particularly when individuals eat too quickly or talk while eating. Other contributing factors include poorly chewed food, certain medical conditions that affect swallowing, and the consumption of alcohol, which can impair judgment and coordination. Additionally, common choking hazards include hard or sticky foods, such as nuts, candy, and meat.
