Blowin' Smoke Up Your Ass!?!

Abstract: Tobacco Smoke Enema's from the 1750's to 1810's





The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patients rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims. A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase "blow smoke up your ass."

Ironically the potential drowning victim would have been much better served if the cigar smoke was forced into his/her lungs, as it would have displaced the water.
