Looks like a typical summer's day in Aberdeen
I wonder if this is where "blowing smoke up my ass" came from, though it doesn't have the same implication?
In the Georgian era - from 1714 to 1837 -one of the most unusual uses of tobacco was in a smoke enema to resuscitate victims of drowning (pictured). Physicians at the time believed that tobacco smoke combated cold and drowsiness, making it a logical choice in the treatment of drowned people in need of warmth and stimulation. Kits consisting of a nozzle, fumigator and a pair of bellows were placed along the River Thames in London by the Royal Humane Society. Once it was discovered that the main ingredient in tobacco, nicotine, is poisonous, the practice began to lose favour during the early 19th century.

"BEGAN" to lose favour?
Nothing like humanity to cling to ingrained habits (and produce porn based on it if that woodcut is anything to go by).
0n the other hand, if someone stuck the business end of a pair of smoke-filled bellows up your arse and went to work, you might well drag yourself back to consciousness, if only to punch them in the face.
Unless you were into that sort of thing, it takes all sorts.

I also thought "began" was an interesting word!

Thanos is coming?
Sexually transmitted diseases, deforestation, irreversibly progressive depletion of the global gene pool. It all adds up to oblivion, pal. Governments will fall, anarchies will reign. It's a brave new world.

That's not Ken, it's Kendrick Bartholomew.
