Nazis and smoking - a really good analogy since it is common knowledge that the Nazis were quite agaist smoking. So...Rauchen ist verbotten fur Du!

Smoking & the Nazis

The members of the National Socialist Workers Party were vehemently opposed to smoking, labeling it a crime against the state. Government-controlled health magazines -- such as Gesundes-Volk (Healthy people: Journal for the Health and Entertainment of the Workforce) and Volksgesundheit (People's Health) -- were filled with anti-smoking articles. There was also Journal Die Volksgifte (The Popular Poison), wholly devoted to the government's campaign against alcohol and tobacco.

The Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls also disseminated anti-smoking propaganda, condemning smoking as "race poison" and a "liberal perversion." Furthermore, the Nazi government decreed that tobacco advertising could not give the impression that smoking had any "hygienic values," "represent the use of tobacco as a sign of manliness," or "ridicule opponents of tobacco."

The Germans were the first to document the relationship between smoking and lung cancer in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1939, the Reich Health Fuhrer established the "Bureau Against the Dangers of Alcohol and Tobacco." Chancellor Adolf Hitler himself was fanatically opposed to smoking, and often spoke of Plicht zur Gezundheit ("the obligation to be healthy"). Since the health of the individual was required by the government as part of the national interest, Hitler declared the wishes of the individual in question were of no importance.

As one publication put it: "Brother national socialist, do you know that our Fuhrer is against smoking, and thinks 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?"
