Did Scott Fitzgerald Foreshadow Anti-SmokingISM?

Scott's fortieth birthday was September, 24, 1936. His mother, Mollie McQuillan Fitzgerald died the same month. Also, in 1936, New Yorker Magazine rejected a story submitted by F. Scott Fitzgerald because of the subject matter. But seventy-six years later, they changed their mind.
Another New York publication had this to say about that.
