Candy Cigarettes
Apparently there is no more evil, vile, heinous product on earth to ever exist than Nicotine. Witness the Nicotine lozenge controversy:
The site splits up Candy Cigs into American Candy Cigarettes and Non-U.S. Candy Cigarettes.
Some of the artwork on the Candy Cig packages is quite interesting.
Feelin' like you may Strike Lucky?
Surely Little BobDog wouldn't sell something that's harmful, would he? He's so cute!
Poor Little BobDog...he looks like he's in pain after Being Attacked by Strawberries on this package. Damn contemptible evil strawberries!
New York Candy Cigarettes, anyone?
Or perhaps your flave is more Manhattan. Or Chicago? San Fran?
Or California brand? And why isn't the clown wearing pants. What's up with that?
Then there's Liberty Candy Cigarettes. I'm guessing Liberals wouldn't like them because they don't like freedom.
And then there's Guns, and guns and candy cigarettes are a great mixer, aren't they?
The globe trotting crowd has their Krakatoa brand.
And if you have any breath left in you after climbing the mountain, you can fire up a Everest Candy Cigarette!
Or Paris? Maybe Mexico?
And it's not the Gondola brand of candy cigs that you have to worry about as much as the health hazards from the polluted waters should you fall out of the gondola. Yikes!
Motorcycles and their enthusiasts have Their Special Candy Cig Brand as well! Zoooooooom!
Bubble Gum? HA! It's Right There For The Taking!
And Come On! If you can't trust Popeye then damn, who can you trust...
... Tom and Jerry, maybe?
My Nicotine Sense
And Poots...pee-yew! Who farted? Oh, that's 'Boots', sorry.
And my personal favorite, ATTACK brand candy cigs.
Smoke 'em, or eat 'em (if they're candy), if you got 'em.

A lozenge that releases a dose of nicotine when sucked is the latest focus of a long-brewing controversy whether access to smoking cessation products should be as easy as walking into a convenience store.
The site splits up Candy Cigs into American Candy Cigarettes and Non-U.S. Candy Cigarettes.

Some of those are really neat!
I used the nicotine gum for a while.
No script required, but expensive!!
And yes, migraines really suck!
2 weeks is my record and the I had to hit the ER for the Demeral shot. (Nowhere near that bad is this one, however...)

Yeah, the ad campaigns, using Tom and Jerry, and other cartoon characters for selling candy cigs to kids would never be tolerated today, would it.
I did the nicotine gum thing years ago. Didnt do a thing for me at all. I dont think there's enough nicotine in it, or at least not back then. I was chewing 5-6 pieces at a time and felt no "relief" from the urge to smoke. So, I went back to smoking. Eh...whatever.
Migraines suck, I hear you , bro. Take care. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

I use to love the cand ciggies as a kid.
Ever seen the bubblegum or beef jerky packaged as snuff? Stuff looks just like Skoal or Copenhagen for kids.

Thanks for visiting and commenting. I skimmed your blog(s) and, while it looks like you and I may have some differences in our political views, you are civil about it and I can deal with that.
Ha! You found me searching for "fat prostitute" images?! What's up with that and why would you be searching for those? (Just kidding).
I'm going to have to search for the same and find the Moore image. I never knew I'd get hit off it from the search terms you used. That is funny.
Every once in a while I see where candy cigs are still for sale in some off-beat convenience stores. I'm going to have to buy a pack the next time I see 'em.
I hope you are a returning visitor and commenter.
