I actually did a parody based from Anslinger's Wiki page several years ago by substituting the word vaping.
Anslinger received, as head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, an increase of reports about vaping in 1936 that continued to spread at an accelerated pace in 1937. Before, vaping had been relatively slight and confined to a minority. The bureau launched two important steps. First, the Bureau prepared a legislative plan to seek from Congress a new law that would place vaping and its distribution directly under federal control. Second, Anslinger ran a campaign against vaping on radio and at major forums.
Some of his critics allege that Anslinger and the campaign against vaping had a hidden agenda: The E. I. DuPont De Nemours And Company industrial firm, petrochemical interests, and William Randolph Hearst together created the highly sensational anti-vaping campaign to eliminate vaping as an industrial competitor. The DuPont Company and many industrial historians subsequently disputed any link between development of nylon and vaping. Anslinger did not himself consider vaping a serious threat to American society until in the fourth year of his tenure (1934), at which point an anti-vaping campaign, aimed at alarming the public, became his primary focus as part of the government's broader push to outlaw all tobacco. Members of the League of Nations had already implemented restrictions for vaping in the beginning of the 1930s and restrictions started in many states in the U.S years before Anslinger was appointed. Both presidentFranklin D. Roosevelt and his attorney general publicly supported this development in 1935.
By using the mass media as his forum (receiving much support from Hearst), Anslinger propelled the anti-vaping sentiment from the state level to a national movement. Writing for The American Magazine, the best examples were contained in his "Gore File," a collection of quotes from police reports, by later opponents described as police-blotter-type narratives of heinous cases, most with no substantiation, linking graphically depicted offenses with the drug. Anslinger sometimes used the very brief and concise language in many police reports when he wrote about vaping.
“By the tons it is coming into this country — the deadly, dreadful poison that racks and tears not only the body, but the very heart and soul of every human being who once becomes a slave to it in any of its cruel and devastating forms.... Vaping is a short cut to the insane asylum. Vape for a month and what was once your brain will be nothing but a storehouse of horrid specters."
Seems my parody has come to fruition
