A Non-Smoking Ban

candycigs.jpgCandy cigarettes should be banned for the following reasons:

1) They promote smoking to children.
2) They are the least practical way to eat low-grade chocolate.
3) If the candy cigarette prohibition gives candy cigarettes an outlaw appeal and increases demand, teens will end up using time and money on illegally obtaining paper-wrapped chocolate that they would otherwise spend on real tobacco.

以下の理由によって、チョコタバコを禁止すべきである。

１）児童に喫煙文化を提供してしまう。
２）質の悪いチョコレートを食べる方法としては不便である。
３）禁止することによってタバコの需要が高まる場合、未成年者の麻薬やタバコへの欲望を比較的安全な違法の紙に巻かれたチョコレートへの欲望にすり替えることができる。

Okay, I just have to say that candy *chocolate* cigarettes are an abomination. Sugar-based candy cigarettes, on the other hand, are wonderfully nostalgic.

Stay away from my Big League Chew.

Criminalizing Big League Chew would drastically reduce the amount of mouth cancer. Do you think Singapore teens have time to get high? They're too busy buying gum from shady foreigners.

How is it that the Texas-Mercurian resisted this clear and obvious bait? I see now that he is a shark that frenzies only for the choicest chum.

I think candy cigarettes are illegal in the entire EU. I know for a fact it is in Sweden.
