Have you ever seen something that just stops you in your tracks. I can remember these as a child, many, many years ago. I havent seen them in years, thinking that it was acceptable 30 years ago and now it would not be. Sorry I was wrong, I was out shopping today and stumbled across this, now before I show a picture of it, you need to understand that these where right at the register, prime spot, highly visible area, you couldnt miss them.
Candy cigarettes??????
Now before I get into a rant about this, yes I am a smoker. However I do not smoke in my house, my cars, or around my kids.
What the hell are we thinking, this is just bad, nothing good can come from this. I have smoked for 20 years and at this point in my life I wish I had never started. But our children today are very influenced by things they see. There should be no place in any retail compnay to promote this type of candy, or hidden message.
How much money are the big tobacco company paying these candy makers, cause you know they are. This is basically a recruitment into something that will kill you, now I understand its just candy but it is sensationalism that is also promoting cigarettes, making children think its ok.
As you can see the actual candy cigarette is very close in appearance and size to the real thing.
Come on people lets have a little more since then this. These are our children you are promoting this to.
Please let me know how you feel about this, cause I cant be the only one, who feels this way.
Thanks for hearing my rant.
Those silver coins are proof thats its me and I was actually able to buy these.
