"Nazi Germany initiated a strong anti-tobacco movement and led the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history. Anti-tobacco movements grew in many nations from the beginning of the 20th century, but these had little success, with the only exception being Germany, where the anti-tobacco campaign was supported by the government after the Nazis came to power."

I hadn't been aware of that, thanks very much for posting.

A great linked site as well, which I've bookmarked.

That’s why I maintain that we are in a Hitlerian society.

And the corresponding situation that both FDR and Churchill wouldn’t be allowed to indulge in a club, while Herr Shicklgruber could waltz merrily in.

Even Hitler couldn’t implement his desire in this case, but we happily accept it.
