Something for people to whine about. Candy cigarettes were my favorite growing up. Oddly enough, I despise cigarettes with a passion, and that's not a smart Passion. Can't stand them, that is the #1 reason we don't visit the in-laws - I get along great with them but my father-in-law is a serious chain smoker. (he lights his cigarette with the one he about to finish)

The kid's will smoke real cigarettes either way when the time comes. Someone telling them they can't will just make it worse. IMO

Gee Jim I got nervous when you make a post about smoke and Smarties

As to the Article, They Kids blowing Sugar. They will be making the rounds this Halloween to restock.

Not sure why they are bothering with smarties. Haven't these kids heard of Pixy Stix

I was prepared to read about smarts with enough power to "smoke the Tires'. Boy was I wrong.

I caught it but didn't want to jinx you (or actually myself since I did catch my smart on fire once, mod gone bad) by mentioning a smart catching fire.

Fire still causes smoke in the end....and you got a new car out of it without taking a hit from your insurance company because of a factory quality issue. Mine was part my fault as I didn't do a good job soldering but it was actually a fuse that didn't work as advertised.

Dang it, now you have me talking about burning smarts. I hope we don't catch fire now.....jinxed it.

If there wasn't a smell or odor from a smoke bomb, I would be tempted to put one in your car at the national rally. Bwahahaha. Especially during the Q&A...everyone look Jim's car is on fire again!

Okay, that your be mean...but us forum members' jaws would drop!
