Where does this saying get its origins from? anyone know?

Okay I googled it and it says that it was an early form of rescucitation in that the stimulus caused by inserting something into the rectum caused a reflexive action in the lungs. In the late 1700's and early 1800's Native Americans, who believe that Tobacco is one of 4 medicines used smoke filled bladders and inserted a tube in the rectum to check for signs of life. Also, the newer version has to do with the magicians use of smoke to hide their secretive actions and it appears a coupling of the two expressions has made it what it is today. Awww I feel better now that I know LOL
