So there has been a lot of debate about whether or not kids should be eating candy cigarettes, because their parents think it leads to the real thing. I say if the kid knows the difference between the candy and actually doing it, then it's ok. If you think about it, kids could actually use the candy to keep from actually puffing at school to be cool like the other kids! What do you think?
