FDA - SMOKING BANS - HITLER

So now that the FDA has complete authority over the entire tobacco, cigarette, cigar and pipe industry, I thought we might take a look at the evolution of smoking bans.

Here is the US, over the last decade, the Progressive Left has been pushing restrictions on smoking, and smoking bans, across the country. Nearly every state now has bans on smoking in public. Some states have even pushed the bans as far as your own apartment, or car.

But do you know who came up with the whole ban on smoking that we are following?

That is right, that good Progressive Democrat, Adolph Hitler.

It was all part of his campaign to seize complete control over the citizens of Germany.

Here, we started off banning smoking in restaurants, public buildings, schools, act.

The Nazis banned smoking in government offices, civic transport, university campuses, rest homes, post offices, many restaurants and bars, hospital grounds and workplaces

NYC I believe tried to ban smoking in your car, and smoking in a car with children is banned in some states.

The Nazi's proposed a ban on smoking in private vehicles.

I wonder if there are any other similarities?

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.

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.

Now that the FDA has control, they are banning most advertising and sponsorships from the tobacco industry.

The Nazis banned tobacco advertising and financed huge public relations campaigns to propagandize people into giving up smoking.

Our government is taxing the hell out of smokers, all in the name of the children. You want to help the children, don't you?

Hitler attempted to price out smoking for Germans, levying huge taxes on cigarettes.

You see, this is not a new idea, or a new tactic.

I have heard about how much smokers cost the health care system, and we need to save that system for the children. What, you don't like the children?

I have also read that the tax revenue collected from tobacco products is over 6 to 1 against costs. That means, for every $6 the government pulls in from tobacco tax revenue, they spend $1 for actual Health related costs.

There should be enough excess money just from smokers to run the whole Health Care system. The problem is, Congress diverts that revenue into all their other earmarks and silly money spending plans.

Hitler picked tobacco to clamp down on, because he thought they could sell it to the masses, and it opened the door for him to clamp down on everything else. It was a long term plan. And it worked.

The Progressives in our government are following his plan, nearly to the letter.

One should be very afraid.
