Smoking Banned by Nazi Germany
Nazi Germany is credited with initiating the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history. The National Socialist leadership condemned smoking and several of them openly criticized tobacco consumption. Adolf Hitler's personal distaste for tobacco and the Nazi reproductive policies were among the motivating factors behind their campaign against smoking, and this campaign was associated with both antisemitism and racism.
The Nazi anti-tobacco campaign included banning smoking in trams, buses and city trains, promoting health education, limiting cigarette rations in the Wehrmacht, organizing medical lectures for soldiers, and raising the tobacco tax. The National Socialists also imposed restrictions on tobacco advertising and smoking in public spaces, and regulated restaurants and coffeehouses.
Restrictions were imposed on the advertisement of tobacco products, enacted on 7 December 1941 and signed by Heinrich Hunke, the President of the Advertising Council. Advertisements trying to depict smoking as harmless or as an expression of masculinity were banned. Ridiculing anti-tobacco activists was also outlawed, as was the use of advertising posters along rail tracks, in rural regions, stadiums and racing tracks. Advertising by loudspeakers and mail was also prohibited.

You guys are crazy … cigarettes are filed with chemicals and shit lungs were not made to inhale smoke …. smoking makes you cough for a reason. Go ahead and smoke if you want to but dont tell us that doctors are saying this to scare us but because it is a fact that smoking will eventually slowly kill you.

drugs have been around since the dawn of time. drug addicts have also been around since the dawn of time. The cigarette smokers are drug addicts. Children have to put up with secondary smoke, which is unfortunate. When they become adults, they no longer have to do this. I feel sorry for the children who have to compromise their health with secondary smoke.There are too many adults that don't care about this,and the children suffer for it.
