In the 18th century, tobacco smoke enemas were a widely used medical treatment for a variety of ailments. This unusual procedure involved blowing tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum using a tube.
Practitioners of the time believed that the nicotine in the tobacco could stimulate a patient’s adrenal glands and produce adrenaline, which would help to revive them from conditions such as respiratory failure, abdominal cramps, or even typhoid fever and cholera.
Despite its widespread use, the tobacco smoke enema was highly ineffective, and there is little scientific evidence to support its use as a medical treatment. Moreover, the procedure carried numerous health risks, including burns, infections, and the possibility of perforating the rectum.
I’d stop complaining about stomach pain for sure.
Now I know your just blowing smoke up my ass with this story.
