Infinite Hollywood: Candy Cigarettes - Taste The Tobacco Memories

I remember those, crazy for them as a kid.

And I turned out smoke free

I remember my mom sending me out as a kid to pick her up a new pack of cigarettes from the corner store. I'd get to keep the change from her cigarette purchase to buy any candy I liked. Usually it was a tie between candy cigarettes of my own and Swedish Fish.

Oh the things they'd let you do in the early 1980s.

I don't really remember besides a couple of instances, using them to make-belive smoke, think I just wrapped them up and ate them like average candy

Nicely written, Thanks for the memory. I was never so bad as when I had my candy cig's
rolled up in my sleeve. The chick's really dug it

Those are delicious, and still readily available.

And I only smoke when I drink. No, really.

Haha some kindergarten oldschool classix thanks for the memories I remember that ones , Be a Kid was healtly back in the days we were smokin' chocolate cigarettes ;).today they smoke blunts at 12 and even worse ^^

Thanks.

Haha, I'm sure the chicks did! :P

Those were delicious. I don't think those turned anyone into a smoker any more than bubble pipes did.

...They still make those.In fact,I have a set of TMNT ones.0.0 On Topic:Eh,these are OK,but they would be better with more flavor.

Ah, I remember when Popeye candy cigarettes became mere candy sticks!

I remember these, my friend and I got them from vending machines sometimes. Of course they got banned after awhile, but I assure you neither one of us ever started smoking. Not to sound corny but we knew the difference between candy and cancer, heh.

bum bum bum bump lol

the chocolate ones used to be good.

How do those work? I mean are they just cigarettes with flavor? :?

They're just a chalky sort of candy that look sort of like cigarettes. They're round sticks.

Chocolate to the left, chalk to the right

Oh those were the bee's knees!

I enjoyed both chocolate and the chalky ones greatly when I was a kid.

Surprisingly, I didn't end up as a smoker.

They sort of melt in your mouth and leave a chalky, sweet flavor.

I haven't had one of those since I was 8 years old. I should track them down. I can't remember how I got them but my mother must have bought them, which seems odd in retrospect because we're good old Baptists and don't really believe in smoking.

As far as I know my parents didn't mind the candy cigarettes; they knew they had laid down the law regarding smoking. But my Grandpa, who did smoke, got very annoyed when I told him about the candy and warned me to NEVER start smoking. I wouldn't have, but that definitely left an impression.

Ah, yeah, I used to get those all the time!

The memories! The overly sweet, chalky taste!

I don't remember except for very few times actually pretending to smoke with them. I more remember biting them off in little teeny pieces.

Brings me back.
