MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.mltoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL that the "Blowing smoke up my ass" phrase probably didn't come from a medical usage, but North Americans did use tobacco for health reasons.

Nicotine is a poison in general and given that suppositories are a very effective way of delivering medication, I imagine that having smoke blown up your arse was pretty nasty.
Yeah, smoking is bad for you in so many ways but nicotine is also addictive!
