Nostalgic Candy Cigarettes

Nostalgic Candy Cigarettes

Size

These turn-of-century delights are actually sugar sticks, with a texture much like NECCO Wafers and Canada Mints. As for the flavor? It’s mild and sweet and certainly enjoyable. Unlike their bubblegum cigarette cousins, they are straight and thin. At one time, they had a red dot at the end, resembling the lit end of a cigarette. Concerned (and we believe, misguided) citizens banned candy cigarettes. They returned – minus the red tip. No matter, kids still love them and, in spite of themselves or not, grown-ups do, too.

Candy cigarettes were also sold at pharmacies, along with an array of other candies. Kids loved all kinds of candy...
Why do we love candy cigarettes be they chocolate, candy or bubblegum? Maybe because they are so daring. So nervy. So delightfully… wrong. They were sold by the “ice cream man”, at penny candy store, and liquor stores who once carried an array of candies for kids while their parents shopped for more adult products a few aisles away. Candy cigarettes were also sold at pharmacies, along with an array of other candies. Kids loved all kinds of candy cigarettes, parents feared them, and the FDA took measures to ban them even before there was an FDA. Controversy! Fun! Bubbles and SNAP!
