He was a smoker for around 18 years until one day he coughed up blood and said, "That's it." He threw a new carton in the trash and never looked back.<br /><br />My mother once asked after they were newly wed if she could try it. My dad said sure. He handed her a cigarette, she breathed in, he hit in the back so that she swallowed the smoke. He did it on purpose because he didn't want her smoking. It worked. She never smoked again.<br /><br />I was like you. Just the candy ones, please. I found some a few years ago at a candy store and sent them to a friend. They made her laugh and go back to her childhood.<br />Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-42583846300414466532013-05-05T17:36:35.693-04:002013-05-05T17:36:35.693-04:00You sure found plenty of examples.

I loved them since my dad smoked but I never, ever smoked...also knew how bad it was...and hated the smell of the smoke.<br /><br />In high school I worked in a sporting goods store and when I cashiered people would smoke right at the register...I would hold my breath. And in 1984 I worked in a craft store in a big mall and people could smoke in the mall but not in the stores...I was sooo happy when smoking was finally banned in stores and restaurants in CA!<br /><br />Great post :)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295499795085860012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-78430779620619157932013-05-04T13:02:50.308-04:002013-05-04T13:02:50.308-04:00Oh my favorite photo, besides your sister in the l...Oh my favorite photo, besides your sister in the last one is the teacher Leta, too funny, but oh I can imagine it was just the coolest moment for her! I still love those candy cigarettes I think they are just yummy, and they are the coolest with the red paint on the end for the fire you know! My daughter in law just bought a bunch of them to put in the little bags for her son's 5 year old birthday party and I hope not too many parents were upset by it, these days some parents don't like their children even pretending to smoke! Even though, these youngsters just know them as just yummy candy!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-56124435273406795672013-05-04T11:58:25.751-04:002013-05-04T11:58:25.751-04:00Oh yes I had forgotten about those candy cigarette...Oh yes I had forgotten about those candy cigarettes, do they still have them?
