Tobacco smoke enemas

I was looking up something having nothing to do with kink or sex and it mentioned tobacco smoke enemas, which apparently were previously used for all kinds of things, including resuscitating a drowning victim. It said that in the 1800's there were "Resuscitation Kits," which included what was necessary for delivering a tobacco smoke enema along the canals in Amsterdam, so bystanders could help those who fell in.

Reminds me of public access AED's we have today.

What's old is new again haha.

I wonder if this is where the expression "blowing smoke up you ass" comes from. LOL

No such thing as safe smoke. Ask any firefighter.

Tobacco products are the only products on the market in the US that can be proven dangerous when used properly!!!

Good one Marsha!!!

That is exactly where the phrase "blowing smoke up their ass" came from.

100 and more years ago, tobacco was viewed as a medicine though I cannot tell you off hand what all it was used for.
