Talk:Candy cigarette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not discontinued? Thank God!! There's the white sugary candy cigarettes that are still sold. What i dont get is why they would be banned. what kid would seriously go "i love the candy so lets try the real thing". all i ever plan on doing is buying a box when going to a conveint store.And they are called candy "sticks" now so are they teaching kids to smoke? No.I mean people enjoy them. What are they going to do now, ban pretzel sticks too?! Cuase i know kids do the exact same thing with those.and how can sugar and tabacco ever going to be related?seriously?If you ask me banning them is like banning ice cream all they are and will ever be is candy Just in case people didnt understand the ingredients are (yes im eating some right now): -sugar -corn syrup -corn starch -tapioca(pudding??) -gelatin -artifical flavors

  • some other flavors:

-chocolate -bubble gum

candy cigarettes Banned for good

          • Maybe because real cigarettes will cause cancer and kill you, and think about it! Real cigarettes should be banned as well.
          • There is a huge difference between candy and real cigarettes.I do on the other hand agree that real cigarettes should be banned.When i wrote this article along time ago well at least 6 months I was trying to say that cigarettes yes are bad but they dont even call them candy cigarettes anymore! i am completly against smoking and i will be for the next 100 years if i last that long but what i can say is i will always be "for" candy "sticks" not agaist them!

[edit] They may do more good than harm

I have heard of people using them to help them quit smoking. Does anyone have any knowledge of people who have tried that and how effective it may have been? 72.101.206.83 21:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I looked here to see if they're still available in the US. I'm quitting and I thought they might help with the psychological need to hold a cigarette in my fingers. Also, PEZ candy started as a quitting aid before they became licensed collectibles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.112.71.96 (talk) 15:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
