Obama Admin. Reestablishes Tobacco Smoke Enemas

The Obama administration loves to implement antiquated policies that have failed time and time again.  The economy is proof positive of that.  As a matter of fact they’ve reestablished a health care quackery that hasn’t been used since the early 19^th century.

Tobacco Smoke Enemas (1750s – 1810s)

The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s 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 one’s ass.”

And that’s what the Obama administration has been doing since 2009.
