It was Bill Hicks who pointed out "Non-smokers die every day".
Don't know who 'invented' tobacco though. It comes from a plant.
That's like asking "Who invented coffee?"

Is this a question about a comic who dead-pans a conversation about finding a new hobbie in the new world called tobacco?
If so, that's Bob Newhart you're looking for...
Cheers
