I remember a lot of people doing this with candy cigarettes - practically sticks of pure sugar, if I remember right. I haven't seen the things in ages.

I remember getting candy cigs from the ice cream man/truck when I was younger.

Government probably banned them because they resembled real cigarettes too much

Anyway, I don't think you can smoke in casinos around here... I know you can't in Saratoga

Yeah, a year or two ago Candy cigs were banned, as well as sugary flavored cigarettes. To prevent kids from smoking, apparently.

Shrug.

Candy sticks still exist, though, I think - though I don't look for such things, so I haven't seen them around.

I don't remember candy cigs. I do remember Pixy Stix, though. Yum, sugar!

OMG you are making me want pixie sticks right now.

Also, on topic, I hate how my work clothes smell of smoke when I get home and the area where I work, there's no smoking.

Mmm, Popeye candy sticks. Actually branded with Popeye, too.
I thiiink you can still find them around here.
On-topic though, no, I have never smoked, and I never intend to.

I can't stand cigarette smoke, in part because of my asthma. The other part is that it's just noxious.


It seems I'm not the only one who holds my breath when passing people who do.

No, although I actually have no problems with people that do smoke. Smell doesn't bother me that much. So I wouldn't share the... somewhat strong opinions most of you have.

Poll results are a surprise as well. Very one-sided.

BTW, we have candy sticks here. Same sugary goodness.

I'm actually amazed the smoke wouldn't bother a non-smoker as much. How can you stand breathing that shit in?

Well, part of it has to do with the fact that most people around here smoke outdoors due to smoking bans and such. So generally there's a breeze or you can position yourself to avoid most of it if you wish.

The other part of it is that I'd rather be sniffing tobacco smoke than weed, which is quite a problem around here. *THAT* is a smell I'm strongly against.

I hate any pungent smell like that and will hold my nose as well. It just makes me angry.

I smoke occasionally. My rules are to not buy packs of cigarettes but to bum singles off of people. The other rule is to limit myself to one or two a week. I go weeks without smoking, so I'm not addicted and never have been. I space it all out because I still maintain the high you get when you first start smoking cigarettes (Probably having to do with lack of oxygen or something) and I enjoy the smell.

 I smoke. I grew up in a household with three smokers in it, so I've never been able to smell cigarette smoke. Funnily enough, though, I didn't start smoking until over a year after I left for college. *shrug*

My dad always smoked. I was around it infrequently enough, I guess, that I could keep smelling it.

The worse thing of all was how my mom's side of the family kept up non-stop bitching about smelling like cigarette smoke after being around my dad. Well...no duh, he's a smoker. What do you expect? e_e

My grandma smoked and got a few blood clots in her lungs. Then she went in for spinal surgery and was forced to stop and she hasn't smoked since, which is fantastic for her.

One of my Great Uncles smoked and drank, and then lived all the way up until age 99.

Our genes are kind of amazing.

of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible

You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
