Be it blood choke or wind pipe chokes, they are both covered by Doesn't breath

IT:No Blood expliticly covers attacks that off blood. That would include blood chokes, and also anything that would cut off blood flow to limbs so as to get the die and need to be amputated.

Remember, blood and bleeding in GURPS doesn't just represent actual human blood. It doesn't have to have anything to do with oxygen; it's just a vital fluid that, if cut off from the body, injures it. IT: No Blood definitely covers Blood Chokes, and Doesn't Breath definitely does not, since a Blood Choke could have nothing at all to do with oxygen or breathing or anything like that.

This is a very good point. Technically the thing could be an alien or strange magical creature. It needn't be blood. Hence, you might not "bleed" (lose HP as per "Bleeding" optional rules), but you might be for some reason affected by blood-borne agents... and yet you might
not be affected by attacks that cut off blood flow, even if in humans a major consequence of that is the build-up of endogenous toxins. They're three different separate things... just like heart attacks, for which IT:No Blood
also does not confer immunity as was noted..
