There was a lot more to the Nazi agenda than just yellow stars and death-camps.Anti-smoking activism was one such area. Hitler's goal was a "secure and sanitary utopia".The anti-smoking campaign was one instance of the Nazi campaign for"racial and bodily purity".Before modern Canada Hitler embarked on a program of tripling taxes on cigarettes,draconian restrictions on indoor smoking,and a goofy, largely anti-semitic ,propoganda campaign against smoking.The results?Smoking rates actually increased 50% in Germany between 1932-39,while staying stable next door in France during the same period.(Although the prize packages from German academic medicine who testified before a tribunal about how non-Aryan babies were systematically slaughtered because of their race,when they weren't throwing bleeding people in wheelchairs out in the freezing cold to have a cigarette-Hitler for the most part allowed smoking in restaurants).
