Smoking: It's Not Just for Adults Anymore! (Again)

Candy Cigarettes! Where have you beeeeeen?!

What an ingenious product, right? Get those kids interested in smoking just as soon as they can enjoy chewing on bubble gum, that's what I say!

To the old folks like me: relive the nostalgia of skipping to the general store with a shiny quarter in hand, gazing upon the colorful array of penny candies and returning home with a small, brown paper bag full of sugary goodness. (And, where we came from, cigarettes for Mom - purchased with a simple handwritten permission slip. Ahh, those were the days.)

Strawberry-flavored Just Like Dad! Bubble Gum cigarettes come 12 to a pack and retail for about $35 less per pack than real smokey treats.

Definitely not a typo.

Or, if strawberry isn't your thang, Archie McPhee offers citrus-flavored Pirate Cigarettes, campfire coffee-flavored (what!) Hobo Cigarettes and cinnamon-flavored El Diablo Cigarillos.

Bring back a little taste of yesteryear.

And don't forget to share with the kids!
