If they choked on something, I doubt they have enough space in their lungs to force it out. Clearing the obstructed airway should be the priority first perhaps by running your hands along the neck, then chest compressions to restart the heart and get blood moving oxygen around.

last time (~ half year ago) they thaught me this they said chest compression is more than enough. there should be enough oxygen in the lungs and blood till professional help arrives, and as you said most of the time airway is blocked in these situations

also most people are extremely unconfortable to blow air through someones nose/mouth, so it incrreases the number of people that are willing to help

at least sa far as i know

Just fyi, chest compressions cannot restart a heart, they can keep blood flowing until an AKG can get it into a normal heartbeat. If the heart is completely stopped, neither compressions or an AKG can do anything.
