Everyone knows that the sale of packs of 10 cigarettes are being outlawed on the 31st of May.

Does anyone know that the sale of confectionery products resembling tobacco products are outlawed too!!

So does this apply to candy cigarettes.

Also, last time I looked, Twix bars look like cigars

Anybody ever remember those fake fags that used to be sold in some shops. They looked like a lit cigarette and if you blew into them a load of dusty smoke came out. Wild stuff.

Don't inhale kids... believe me!

How would you feel about plastic needles with syringes purporting to contain kiddy heroin? I don't know if it's particularly harmful, but kid's cigarettes... it's very bizarre.

Not sure, but Dip Dabs and Sherbert Fountains are being cut up and snorted by 5 to 8 year olds all over the Country... Sherbert Fountains even come with a liquorice snort tube ffs!!!

Why, the chocolate was mank!! I can't imagine the paper being much nicer!

I sighted it in the Irish Times this morning.

It's an amendment to the tobacco act. But it specifically states bout the confectionery items being outlawed

I liked paper

Anyway it was effort to peel it off

Ruu_Old · 21-05-2007 10:55PM

Yeah I used to eat the paper from the chocolate ones. There were ones with The Hulk on the packet, just plain chalky ones. Hilarious, I would offer my brother (6 at the time) some of those chalky cigarettes, some of them were not far off similar to a box of cigs, when I would see people walk by and the tutting from the auld biddies.

*tut and shake of head* "Smokin at hees age, and you should know better offertin them to 'em!":mad:

nonono, it's not the candy sticks, is it!? please say no

. The imitation cigarettes i understand, but if this gets rid of candy sticks i may just have to blow something up...

Exactly! it was the whole effort of peeling off the paper,twas faster just eating them whole,most times the paper didnt taste too bad either lol

BrokenArrows · 21-05-2007 11:13PM

quick people. time to raid every candy store in the country. Stock up. Should be enough to feed the habbit till we can arrange some kinda smuggling operation.

We can sell them on adverts.ie under the codeword "candyman".:D

Back when I was in third year, that was actually a trend at my old school. Seriously. Kids snorting Sherbert Fountains - ****ing retards.

I remember back in school going into the teen disco and there was these idiots snorting Dispiren tablets............yea, suppose one way to cure a headache. Just for the record they did crush them first, sure would be a bit painful snorting them whole!

I used to eat those choccy ciggies religiously when I was a kid, same goes for the candy sticks!

Dyr · 22-05-2007 11:03AM

anyone remember those bags of exploding chewy stuff? That was some cheap nasty sh**. The playground equivalent of meth

zuutroy · 22-05-2007 11:21AM

Bleagh....All of those cigarette sweets were woeful. I wont miss em.

Sean7 · 22-05-2007 12:31PM

Those chocolate cigs tasted great if I remember right. What a shame...

Pop Rocks or something. I liked that shiit. Great sounds when you keep opening and closing your mouth continually while they were exploding.

Caliden · 22-05-2007 08:07PM

but the pack of 10 ciggies were the best for those occasions where you could celebrate a bit
