Hey there kiddo! So, you know how people smoke cigarettes and it's not good for them? Well, a loooong time ago, some people thought that maybe smoking cigarettes could help cure illnesses. But instead of smoking them in their mouth, they thought maybe they could put smoke into people's butts to help them feel better.
I know it sounds silly, but that's what they did! They would take a tube and put it in the person's butt and then blow smoke from a tobacco plant into their body. But here's the thing: that's not safe or healthy at all!
We know now that smoking cigarettes is bad for you and can cause all kinds of diseases. And putting the smoke in your butt isn't any better! It can make you really sick and hurt you more than help you. So, we don't do that anymore and we just tell people to stay away from smoking altogether. It's much safer and healthier for us that way.
