These are still around??????
Not only are they still available…and not just in the vintage and collector circuits either. Why did my 6 year-old ask me to buy him these yesterday?
I was taken aback. I remember having these as a kid but I’m 36!! He even was able to articulate that the sugar inside was like the smoke from a grown-up cig. I asked where he saw these and he said the little girl who lives down the street. The girl is around 8 and is being raised by her grandmother in a house with 4 other kids she has custody of.
Who would buy these for their children in this day and age? I of course told him no and “tried” to explain my reason. Of course to a 6 year-old, he could not understand why I didn’t understand his rationale that “mom, I hear what you’re saying but like I keep saying, it.is.not.a.real.cigarette.ok?”
Thoughts???
