Maybe the best choice for tobacco would be Baby's Bottom?

...this is the vital bit from wiki: :laughat:

Richard Mead was cited in one of the earliest documented cases of resuscitation by rectally applied tobacco smoke, from 1746, when a seemingly drowned woman was treated. On the advice of a passing sailor, the woman's husband inserted the stem of the sailor's pipe into her rectum, covered the bowl with a piece of perforated paper, and "blew hard". The woman was apparently revived.

:eek:
In the 1780s the Royal Humane Society installed resuscitation kits, including smoke enemas, at various points along the River Thames, and by the turn of the 19th century, tobacco smoke enemas had become an established practice in Western medicine, considered by Humane Societies to be as important as artificial respiration.

While funny to think about now, I wonder how arcane our current medical processes and beliefs will be in 200 years. I remember an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation where the doctor shook her head in disbelief that mankind used to open up the body cavity to do surgery and that it was now all done with nanobots. Of course I won't be alive to see it but i bet they look back and shake their heads.
