Wait wait wait! That’s 2009 article. This got shot down, I think by big tobacco.

Whew! I can stop rolling my eyes now.

J

Wow, if big tobacco really did shut this down I’d be really surprised. I didn’t think they had any fight left in them in this day and age.

T

Yeah, the dip companies took it to court, the city could not ban them.

sorry about that didnt realise it was from last year silly me

I used to “smoke” a couple packs of Round-Up and Lucky-Light candy ciggy-butts as a young boy. Surely we can find a way to keep these available for the little ones?

M

@Bart I mentioned those candy cigs to someone the other day in one of those “old enough to remember” remarks. There were faux Pall Mall, Salem, Chesterfield and Luckies. Probably a whole slew of others, but those came to mind first. The flavour wasn’t that great, iirc. Like Wintergreen Altoids.

B

Ah,… but nothing like that first puff of dust in the morning with your Tang…hell YES!!

C

I prefered Ovaltine with my bubble gum cigs and cigars.
