Do not hit them on the back; it will just lodge the food in further and cause more severe choking. Instead do the hemlic remover: have the person stand in front of you, wrap your hands around them and make a fist and cover it with your other hand, then place it on their stomach and push then relax, push then relax, and repeat this until an emergency vehicle arrives.
