The romans were allegedly into gorging on good food, then deliberately >>>>>> puking so they could gorge on more good food.
Indeed, a well designed house included a vomitorium.
That (and the idea that Romans induced vomiting to make room for more
food) is based on a misconception:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomitorium#Misinterpretation_of_the_term
Ah!
So both my Latin teachers were wrong when they told us about a vomitorium >>> and Romans puking to make room for more food. Shows how
misinterpretations
spread like wildfire and become "accepted wisdom" so even teachers
believe
them and pass them on to their pupils.
Even? You use the word even when you're talking about someone you would
not expect to behave that way. Teachers are not the sharpest knives in
the drawer and in fact the most likely to spout crap.
Until you learn that teachers are just human beings like you and me, you
tend to think of them as minor deities (!) and treat everything they say as 100% correct.
I first realised that I shouldn't *always* believe everything they said when a new French teacher taught us the year after I started learning French.
The first French teacher had told us that the French for "curtains" was "drapeaux", whereas the correct word is "rideaux". "Drapeaux" means flags. The new teacher has one of those "Hmmm. I shall have to have words with Mr <previous teacher>" moments...
What bought this on I wonder? Assuming its a serious question, I think your choice of newsgroup has a problem.me. Better out than in.

To induce vomiting or not to induce vomiting? It does irritate me thatbleach for example says "do not induce vomiting" (with no explanation - Ineed an explanation or I won't obey). Well I'd ignore that and pukeanyway. I do not want that stuff inside
Also, why do people find it hard to puke? I find it as easy as going tothe toilet or coughing. I just lean over the sink and puke. No fingers inmy throat or anything. It seems odd that people are not in control oftheir own body.

If you believe you have accidentally ingested a poison, or are near
someone who has, and there is no poisoning label on the container of the >>> substance involved, and you are in the U.S., immediately call the
national poison control hot line at: 1-800-222-1222.
I just noticed that you may be in the U.K. On the web, it appears that
you should call NHS 111.
If it was suspected poison which may need treatment (stomach washout or antidote) ASAP, I'd probably call 999 or its Europe-wide synonym 112 - the emergency number which should be answered very quickly, rather than the NHS number which may take a long time to be answered at busy times.
I've never head of anyone being able to vomit on demand, unless it is triggered by stimulation of the gag reflex (finger in throat),
poisoning,
illness (including eating something that has "gone off" or triggered by extreme disgust or shock (eg being confronted by a dead body). In the
absence of those, being able to say to yourself "I think I'll puke" and having it happen sounds rather bizarre - although it could be yet another case of one of Commander Kinsey's tall tales.

Yep, just vomit up the bleach.
I read the label.me. Better out than in.
What newsgroup would serve me better?

The primary risk of inducing vomiting after ingesting a poison or even
just an overdose of most oral medications is for aspiration pneumonia.
The complications of that are often substantially greater than the physiological effects of the overdose. If you don't know the best
treatment (both first aid and definitive treatment) call the national
poison control number (1-800-222-1222) which is staffed with experts 24/7.
Of course, if you have good reason to suspect an opioid overdose,
whether oral or by injection, narcan (naloxone) or a generic equivalent should be administered ASAP. You won't make things worse and you might
just save a life. Call or have someone nearby call 911 to request an ambulance, monitor rate of breathing and pulse (either at the neck or at
the wrist) and start CPR if there is no pulse. Turn the patient on
their side to minimize aspiration pneumonia in the event of vomiting and
try to ensure an open airway by keeping the chin forward and the head
back.
