A wealth of overlooked yet frightening literature concerning the Nazi crusade against smoking provides a clear parallel to contemporary developments and an alarming warning that state restriction of personal habits is the pre-cursor to dictatorship.
Beginning in the early 1930's, as part of the Nazi agenda for racial purity, Hitler spearheaded a national campaign to ban smoking in all public buildings, and denounced the practice as a betrayal of the fascist drive for bodily purity.
"Brother national socialist, do you know that our Führer is against smoking and think that every German is responsible to the whole people for all his deeds and emissions, and does not have the right to damage his body with drugs?" stated one magazine.
As I wrote earlier this year , "The regulation of the personal habit of smoking, including new legislative moves in San Francisco to ban cigarettes in private homes, and its enforcement by an eager cadre of state snoops and snitches, represents nothing more than a move on behalf of big brother towards the complete subjugation and shackling of the individual."
Read these shocking parallels and compare them to the endless lecturing we are forced to endure today about our personal lifestyle choices by the state and their propaganda arm, the mass media.

- The Nazis banned tobacco advertising and financed huge public relations campaigns to propagandize people into giving up smoking.
- The Nazis banned smoking in government offices, civic transport, university campuses, rest homes, post offices, many restaurants and bars, hospital grounds and workplaces, and Hitler gave awards to associates who quit the habit.
- A ban on smoking in private vehicles was called for.
- The Nazi Reich Health Office warned that smoking caused impotence and produced posters depicting smoking as a dirty habit of Jews, Gypsies, blacks, intellectuals and Indians.
- Nazi lobbyists lectured terrified children in schools on the horrors of racial impurity as a result of smoking.
- The term "passive smoking" (Passivrauchen) was coined by the Nazi Anti-Tobacco League. Its author, Fritz Lickint, offered no supporting evidence to claim that smokers poisoned everyone around them, while also stating that drinking coffee caused cancer.
- Hitler was an ardent vegetarian and did not smoke or drink after the age of 30, even accrediting the rise of fascism to his success in kicking the habit. He forbade anyone from smoking in a room he might enter. Fellow fascist leaders Mussolini, Napoleon and Franco also detested smoking.

- The Nazi anti-smoking crusade was unleashed with the help of manufactured junk science on behalf of the medical and health establishment, one such example being that smoking caused "spontaneous abortions" in pregnant women.
- Hitler attempted to price out smoking for Germans, levying huge taxes on cigarettes.
- Despite the Nazi propaganda crusade against smoking, tobacco sales increased in Germany, leading some history professors to hypothesize that smoking was an act of cultural resistance against fascism, until the late 1930's after smoking was banned in most public buildings and tobacco sales rapidly declined.

Another Nazi anti-smoking propaganda poster depicts a jackboot kicking a cigarette, a cigar and a pipe.
What conclusions can we draw from these parallels? Either the Nazis were benign really cared about everyone's health or they used the specter of anti-smoking to exert massive control over people's lives and scale back basic freedoms, getting a foot in the door for the political dictatorship that was to follow.
Similarly today, either the same elite that advocate "mass culling" of the majority of the world's population really do care about public health and well-being or they are using the excuse of the anti-smoking drive to condition us to accept state regulation over every aspect of our personal lives.
It's all about control, it's all about letting you know who the bosses are. If the government can regulate personal habits and behavior, what's next? If the state is so concerned about our good health as they would have you believe, why not use the latest scientific advancements to remove that nasty aggressive gene that causes so much unhappiness? Well, you're causing those around you distress and harming their health so why not? Are your political opinions a mental illness? Are they harming society? Perhaps we should ban certain types of "free" speech that is offensive to others.
You see where this is all heading - how long before our wall mounted personal x-ray body scanners are accompanied by special smoke detectors that inform on you to the local Stasi if you dare to light up?
We live in a paranoid world overpopulated by ninnying jellyfish who dare not dip their toe in the water in case there's a law against it, it might upset someone, or it might be bad for their health.
Many people will read this article having lost loved ones as a result of smoking. Please don't have a knee jerk emotional reaction, try to understand that the point I'm making - smoking is unhealthy but it is healthier than fascism and government regulation of personal habits leads to dictatorship.
The fact that the very language and policies that we are now bombarded with as a justification for state regulation of our personal lifestyle choices are directly lifted from Nazi policies for racial hygiene from the 1930's should alarm us all and act as a wake up call to the true agenda behind today's anti-smoking purge.

Today's Anti-Smoking Purge Is Borrowed From The Nazis


COMMENT: So you anti Smokers...you know who your master is now!..and you know what you are.

Funny our 1960 gun laws are based on the Nazi Gun laws too....hey good thing we live in the USA....do you know about the concentration camps yet?

"...we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

Rob, your nuts.

mdmx96

Robodoon

So the contention is because the Nazis were against smoking, everyone who is against smoking forever more is a Nazi? When I'm dying of cancer from second hand smoke, I'll keep that in mind.

TenGig

OH SNAP YOU GOT ME!!!
To be honest I didn't even read your post. I only read the title and it made me laugh.

Are you saying that politicians borrowed the idea from the nazis cause they're nazis?
-if so this should be in the CT section

Or are you saying that we are becoming like nazis?
Nazis paid taxes. So do we. better stop I guess
It was against the law to commit murder. Crap better make it legal
For christ sakes Rob; STOP BREATHING AIR! THE NAZIS BREATHED AIR!

Nerdo

After I use my aluminum foil caps I like to wrap my sandwiches in 'em.

Now, just because your against smoking doesnt mean your a nazi, by no means but its obvious that isnt Rob's intention... Although saying government control over what goes into our bodies is a precursor to a dictatorship is a crock, because we by no means live in a dictatorship, never mind one quite like Nazi Germany

His point is a great one though, the government has absolutly no right telling a person what he can and can't put into his body... but only until those substances that your putting in there harm society in general. Government bans on smoking in public places is a good thing, even as a smoker I say that because I dont want to be the cause of anyone else's death. However, The government should not put bans on Cigarette advertisements on the fear kids might see them. Nor do they have the right to say you should not be allowed to smoke outside of certain buildings, including schools.... this being for the same principal of Government control over what goes into our bodies, high schooler or not, especially when outside, for it isnt a danger to those not immidiatly next to you

Robodoon

No just that we are seeing a pattern of Control....used in the past and now used today. And it probably does have ties to the nazi social controls of the past, after WWII 1000's of Nazi were brought into the CIA, to work on mind control. Social control is mind control for the masses...so we are seeing that happen again. The Government doesn't give a poop out our health, heck right now they are poisoning us in many ways...its not about health is about control.

From the man who was hired to get women to smoke in the past.

In Bernays 1928 book, Propaganda, which was recently re-issued, he talks about the invisible governance by manipulation.

Quote:

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smooth functioning society."

"...we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
