collaborated in the Holocaust, killing and torturing by experiments "pseudo-scientists." Practiced the "euthanasia" to thousands of people with physical and mental disabilities. Sterilized to those groups considered "biologically inferior." Nazi doctors committed those and other untold atrocities list as part of the crazy cross Hitler to get a superior race. But Nazi Germany was also far ahead compared to other countries, as regards health reforms. Its scientists were the first to discover the connection between lung cancer and smoking, and even today its campaign to bring health ... we seem progressive and even remind us of the steps taken now in Spain.
In 1939 he conducted the first controlled study on smoking and lung cancer. The results demonstrated the relationship between high consumption of cigarettes and the development of these tumors.
anti-smoking law
The military had banned smoking in the streets for marches and periods of leave and, at school, children and teachers could not eat. The same thing happened to children under 18.
The snuff was also banned on trains and buses, workplaces, public buildings, hospitals and residences. And almost in the car and that according to the document, drivers had an accident while smoking were charged with criminal negligence.
The advertisement for this substance was highly controlled and it seems that it was even debating whether smokers deserve the same health care as other people.
The snuff was not the sole objective of health policy, the government also sought to boost consumption of vegetables and fruits, breads and discouraged the whipped cream.
"Mother, you must absolutely avoid alcohol and nicotine during pregnancy and when children must carefully. Hinder, harm, disrupt the normal course of pregnancy. Drink fruit juice, "reads one of the health manuals of the time.
"Brother national socialist, do you know your 'Führer' is against smoking and thinks that every German is responsible for his actions and tasks in front of everyone, and not have the right to damage your body with drugs? ". The text of a journal from Nazi Germany shows how the arms of Hitler's dictatorship also imprisoned the snuff.

Note: how there's always some crazy loose explicit clarification is needed. This article is not intended to exalt all the nefarious Nazi period. Nor try to suggest that the smoking ban start now in Spain is fascist or "intrusions" (we can discuss in detail in the comments). Personally, and although there is no perfect choice, I think that is more positive than negative, so the support.
