Edited to add this bit from Wikipedia because I laugh out louded.
Haji Jamahri, a resident of Kudus, Java, created kreteks (clove cigarettes) in the early 1880s as a means to deliver the medicinal eugenol of cloves to the lungs, as it was thought to help asthma. It cured his chest pains and he started to market his invention to the village, but he died of lung cancer before he could mass market it.
