We read:
"Opponents of Germany's new smoking ban have appalled Jewish leaders by selling more than 1,000 'smokers' T-shirts' that display a yellow Star of David and suggest that discrimination against nicotine addicts is like Nazi anti-Semitism during the Third Reich.
The controversial T-shirts went on sale on an internet site in the run-up to a smoking ban which came in to force in 10 of Germany's 16 federal states on New Year's Day. Its promoters insisted that Germany needed to be woken up to what it described as 'disgraceful discrimination against smokers' in bars and restaurants and claimed that its shirts were 'the most aggressive smokers' resistance shirt available.'"

I can see both sides of this argument. Jews are asked to "get over" an awful lot. But it is also true that Hitler campaigned against smoking
