There is a story from the Golden Age of Science Fiction called Pandemic by JF Bone. It postulates a global virus the cure for which in the end turns out to be smoking tobacco.

And the improbably beautiful nurse marries the curmudgeon who is her boss.

And they put babies in smoke ventilators.

I'd recommend Pandemic. It's a little bit different to most games in that it's a co-op game, but it's a lot of fun and I feel challenges most people's perceptions on how board games should be.
Stone Age is a fairly basic but fun introduction to worker placement games.
Puerto Rico is fairly simple but is quite satisfying.

Basically I've found that it's good to play a variety of different board game types to see what you personally enjoy.
