The Cocarette cigarette, a tobacco and cocaine mixture was popular way back when. The package in the photo displays much testimony of the benefits of this concoction, suggesting that Coca neutralizes the depressing effects of nicotine in tobacco. Alrighty, then.
And what about Cubeb cigarettes? Sounds spicy, no?

Marshall's Prepared Cubeb Cigarettes (1881-1940s) was a brand so popular its sales continued until World War Two. Blosser's Cigarettes, Dr. R. Schiffmann's Asthmador Cigarettes, and Requa Cigarettes were also non-tobacco medicinal brands smoked as a treatment for asthma and other bronchial problems.

Huh.
