Do you think candy cigarettes are used to promote early smoking?
I used to eat candy cigarettes when i was young, but now that i'm older, i see that they are not appropriate in the least bit. I think they promote smoking at a young age, because kids buy these cigarettes and then pretend to smoke them instead of actually eating them. I used to do it, and i'm sure 90% of other kids that have had candy cigarettes have pretended to smoke them. They even have bubble gum cigars for kids! Do you think this is inappropriate and can influence habits later on, or is it innocent and i'm just being a prude?

Absolutely. Especially in a family where one or more parent smokes. If they buy the child candy cigarettes then they are getting the idea at too young of an age that it's "OK" for them to smoke. Anything that is already negative and you try to present it in a positive way is already a double negative when you think about it???? What's the difference between that and candy crack or candy beer?

Saw these on JeepersMedia's vids and was so surprised I got em when I was bored and went out getting free candy.
