Choking may pose risks and warrants further research, as indicated by studies on S100B protein.

“Now now there's we should probably mention there are some limitations on the study. This is not conclusive that uh choking is proven to be you know detrimental long term. It's meant to to showcase that it's an area of interest. The data is interesting. The the sample size was small. So if you're going to engage in this kind of practice, just be mindful. There are risks. It's not a risk-free activity. And so I think but more more research needs to be done, but definitely is very helpful just to call attention to there may be more risk than people are aware of.”
