Apparently they're called Candy Cigarets in America and some other countries?

[Dman22]

I remember seeing them as a kid. I kinda forgot when they banned them.

[numerouno85]

Smoked many of them outside the dairy.

[samantha_1858]

Look like candy cigarettes

[Sha84]

Never heard of this stuff

[OnlyYouKnowThat]

Yes I remember them in Australia although they were sold here under a different, and more unfortunate name:

[RedRobin]

Wow, are they still called that?

[OnlyYouKnowThat]

Hahaha In the 1990s they realised that they had to change the name:


Fags were a common name for cigarettes in Australia up until the 80s, and because these candy were originally produced as candy cigarettes that's where the name cam from. But the name fag kind of changed due to the influence of American pop culture.

[MlleCake]

We used to have candy cigarettes of other brands, and mostly they are gone now.

When you think about it, candy cigarettes are sending a pretty bad message to kids.

[MindYourEyes]

Never heard of those ones xD the ones I had they made it look like cigarette cartons and just plain white sticks xD. I’d get em from an Ice cream truck though hahaha xD. They weren’t even that good.

[AlexEfron]

We didn't have the same brand... but yeah... I remember having them when I was in school 😂🤣
WITH THE RED TIPS 😋 children's cigarettes 😂

[RedRobin]

What do you call them?

[AlexEfron]

🤔 mint cigarettes 😂

[AlexEfron]

The vendor would understand that we're referring to the candies and not the real mint cigarettes 🤣

[kenworth]

I remember them. They were candy cigaretts here. I haven't seen them or looked for them in a long time now.

[BlueWalker]

No, but I remember Popeye cigarette candy (seriously) that looked the same. lol

[BlueWalker]

Just saw your update.

Yes, because of the shape and colour, as well as the red dye at the end that makes it look like a lit cigarette with hot embers at the end.

[vishna]

i remember a chalky white candy that tasted like sweet chalk, this very well could be it

[vishna]

yes, I remember candy cigarettes :) !

[DementedCutie342]

No I've never seen these they remind me of those fake cigarettes

[BeMuse]

They look like sticks of wax. I've never seen them...

[Frankenstein99]

Is that supposed to be candy cigarettes?

[RedRobin]

The original ones were but the took the red tips off about 15 years ago so they just look like white sticks now.

[Frankenstein99]

Yeah i bought those all the time when i was a kid. Personally i liked the ones that were bubblegum shaped the same way and everything but they were wrapped in paper to simulate a cigarette. And it had powder inside in between the paper and gum so when you blew through it it blew out a puff of fine powder to simulate smoke.

[smahala1991]

Yes we cal them candy Cigarettes here

[RedRobin]

Oh, ok, do they still have the red tips in america? They stopped putting the red tips on here because they thought it'd promote smoking

[smahala1991]
