Reminds me of these too, which apparently still exist but I have not seen IRL in years:
oh I liked these. Not enough to ever purchase, but in the retiree neighborhood where I grew up they'd be in my Halloween basket. It was that or quarters because they would forget to buy candy but didn't want us kids to be disappointed. Which we an adult makes me wonder how they could find so many quarters but not candy
They had the good candy and they weren't handing that out!
In the 70s and 80s, gas stations had not one but two kinds of candy cigarettes. These really crappy chalky things with a red tip that you ate and another that was gum wrapped in paper that had some sort of powder that if you blew really hard looked like smoke coming out the end. I loved the gum ones. Yes, Virginia, the 80s were all about white powder in all its forms!
I hadn't thought about these in years, my brother and I loved them they were all different colors. My grandmother used to put gum cigarettes on our pillow as a treat when we'd go to visit her. Which looking back on it is really strange!
