Reality Check NY is an organization created in 1939 by the German National Board of Health with the intent of "deglamorizing tobacco use and demoralizing citizens for lack of sweet, sweet nicotine" in order to aid complacency towards the actions of the Nazi Party. Originally known as "Reality Check Berlin," the movement reformed in New York State in 1946 when a number of high-ranking Nazi Party Officials escaped to America under new aliases.

| - Reality Check NY is an organization created in 1939 by the German National Board of Health with the intent of "deglamorizing tobacco use and demoralizing citizens for lack of sweet, sweet nicotine" in order to aid complacency towards the actions of the Nazi Party. Originally known as "Reality Check Berlin," the movement reformed in New York State in 1946 when a number of high-ranking Nazi Party Officials escaped to America under new aliases. In a very prescient way, they realized that the proliferation of cigarretes in wartime conditions would lead to widespread addiction and an eventual backlash against the tobacco manufacturers, and thus decided to join what they felt would be a large-scale crusade against vices that were ubiquitous among Americans. Their derogatory views about America, that most of its citizens were "weak-willed" and "refused to admit responsibility for their problems," proved to be very influential in the proliferation of public health campaigns that would become instrumental to them in the noble pursuits of censorship and oppression.
