Modern public health and the antitobacco movement have symbols eerily reminiscent of those of the iconic
20th century dictatorships. In the US, there's a Surgeon General who wears a dark military uniform, while his
bureaucratic brother-in-arms leading the Drug War is called the Drug Czar. 3 The omnipresent no-smoking
symbol is red, white and black – the colours of the German swastika.
