Today's Anti-Smoking Purge Is Borrowed From The Nazis
Smoking is healthier than fascism
Prison Planet | April 25, 2007
Paul Joseph Watson
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.

Nazi anti-smoking propaganda poster.
- 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.

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
