Candy cigarette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Candy cigarettes is a candy introduced in the early 19th century made out of chalky sugar, bubblegum or chocolate that resembles cigarettes. Some varieties produced smoke when chewed on. Some people believe that candy cigarettes teach children to smoke. Candy cigarettes have already been banned in many countries in the world such as Canada, Finland, Norway, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. In the United States a ban was considered in 1970 and again in 1991, but was not passed into federal law. They are still being manufactured and consumed in many other parts of the world.
