I remember candy cigarettes, growing up in the 60's. Never made me want to smoke... Illegal in the U.S. now, but young people have still become
smokers years since...

Funny story about Cuban cigars..
At a Washington, DC c-cktail party, a young reporter from CNN remarked to a navy admiral who was openly smoking a Cuban cigar,
"Don't you feel guilty smoking on of those illegal and BANNED cigars from Castro?"
The admiral blew some smoke and said, "Young lady, I prefer to think of it as burning his crops to the ground."

I allow my kids to whatever they want....
Except smoking!
This is another great moment in time.....I had just bought the kids a bunch of fireworks (little stuff!) and they were using cigarettes as a lighting
tool. They were too afraid to strike a match :-)

My dad did the same thing with me and my childhood partner in crime, Randy.
We used Dad's Camels.

Ah, brings up memories of my own childhood and the first pack of Lucky Strikes my amigo stole. We smoked them down by the creek. I was the first to
puke, Dewey went next. It was the 1950s in Santa Clara, California.
Now Dewey was from Guadalajara and insisted he was Spanish, not Mexican, we had an ongoing dispute about this. I didn’t understand the deal about
pigmentocracy; it was all very confusing to me. His mother made handmade corn tortillas on their porch and she cooked tamales all day, they were from
Guadalajara, were dark skinned, and in my mind just had to be Mexican.
Well, Dewey had a phobia about germs. I recall the day our teacher, Mr. Erickson, a real dream, and source of much fantasy at the time, told us about
germs. “Germs are tiny creatures, smaller than the eye can see, and they can make you very sick.” Now that particular day, for some reason, Dewey was
paying rapt attention. I don’t know if it was hormones or just a genuine interest in the subject. At any rate Dewey got the concept. It was a Friday
and it all was pretty boring for me, I had a microscope and this was by now common knowledge for me. I had examined lots of blood, guts and pond water
under my 10 power.
So it’s the next day and Dewey scores a bar of chew. Dewey, Bruce and I head down tot he creek. I had only seen pictures in the movies that showed
fancy Frenchmen snorting snuff. Big stuff snuff. Anyway we are at the creek and Dewey hauls out this plug of tobacco. None of us had the slightest
idea of how to use it. Of course none of us told the others, too much face at stake for that. So we each take a bite and off we go on our bicycles.
The memory of Bruce hurling a brown steam of undigested tobacco, which hit Dewey, following close on his heels, made me laugh my burro off, I nearly
fell off my bike as Dewey then puked and yelled “Germs, Germs!!!”
I have lost touch with my good childhood friend and I have had dreams of Dewey, Michael Jackson, or Howard Hugh’s style, with white gloves living in a
clean room.
Don’t we all have these stories?

Good story flyman.
Grew up during WWII. Born in "36. No tobacco to be had anywhere, but had some Rizzla (rolling paper) and we just pulverized some dry tree leaves and
smoked them, like "Big" people. Got a little sick, but....part of growing up. Remember though that during those times people gave their eye tooth for
a smoke, my old man included. They had, in "44, "45 "bukshag", which in Dutch means it came from butts that were opened and the little leftovers made
into "new" cigarettes. Buk meaning "bend over"
Imagine the amount of tar in those handrolled cigarettes.

Iflyfish, still laughing.. as it reminds me of myself growing up in the 50's... hell just everyone smoked.. just about .. my mom did not.. but most
all of my relatives did ... even my uncle in AZ and he was a Mormon .. and he drank coffee.. but he was a really cowboy, no joke..
Check out the John Wayne movie The High and the Mighty ... or Now Voyager.. (they must have had to have exhaust fans to clear the set) ...hell, when I
was playing Little League most of my hero's in Baseball and Football smoked.. my Dad did as did all his friends.. plus they drank "whiskey" "Old Crow
or I.W. Harper" straight , not white wine.. some Lucky Lager or Brew 102, it's the water...
Just a different period of growing up.. what was considered ok at that time.. is not now.. very funny story... thanks..
Agree with Pomp.. kids appear to be having a great time.. to me too

Thanks for pictures, does this mean that you are there now?
Correct caption is likely "two kids having fun in the sun"
I remember candy cigs. as a kid. Not sure they ever did any real harm.'
I used them but do not use the real things now.

Found/stole? a pack of Lucky Strikes when I was about 11 yrs. old, smoked a couple, had to lay down in a feed trough for a while to get over the
dizziness. Shared the rest with an old man that lived in a shack on the edge of the marsh. Quit smoking about 20 yrs later.
