Herbert A. Gilbert

Groovy.

Known as the Smokeless, this device was invented by one Herbert A. Gilbert.

Gilbert stated that the Smokeless had potential to prevent disease from tobacco use, and even had dietary benefits.

According to the Smithsonian Magazine, he claimed that anyone on a diet could smoke their favorite foods using vapor flavors like mint, rum, or cinnamon.

But his invention was not a waste because for years, people wanted to make an inhaling device similar to his.

And that's where a man named Herbert A. Gilbert comes in.

Herbert Gilbert, that's a cute, cute name.

He sounds like a hippo.
