I remember eating them in the early 2000s and then them vanishing from nearly ever store. I still see them in candy shops, but rarely and usually tucked away on the bottom shelf. I also remember those thick, bubble gum, cigars.
I had them in the 90s, but only during Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. I got them from my parents. They were extremily against smoking ironically. There’s still children champagne sold. Some Belgian comedians came up with the idea to promote kidicoke. See here the video with English subs.
I still don’t know what the name for these is in my language. The only 2 I know are zamorčki (black people) or indijančki (native americans). Both are bad.
I grew up in the 1970s. We were eating candy cigarettes. 😄
I was eating those in the 90s…
I’m eating those today…
But they’re completely white now, back in the day they had the red tip and a “filter”
In my country, they are are white with orange “filter”.
Is the filter orange flavored or just dyed?
Yes! It is orange flavored. In fact, even the white part tastes like orange.
I had them in the '80s definitely, maybe even into the '90s in the US. They’re still sold in Japan today (chocobaco or something like that).
They’re still sold in the US too, just as “candy sticks.”
“Big League Chew” the bubble gum was also supposed to resemble tobacco chew.
I loved big-league chew and bubble tape when I was growing up.
Edit: and I can’t forget Bazooka. Also, shitty trading card pack gum (for nostalgia but not flavor).
I definitely had these growing up in the 90s. Though not as popular, candy stores still sell them today.

in the uk in the early 90s I definitely had some
I can still remember the terrible taste of them. And nobody was sure if we were meant to eat the paper, but we did anyway.
They definitely had em in the US in the 90’s. I only ever got them from the ice cream man. Never saw them in a store.
Orion’s Cocoa Cigarette. But Little Bobdog Cigarette is probably more popular.
We had these in Australia but they were called something way worse…
Fags, delicious fag sticks
Shove em in my mouth suck on them all day
I looked cool as hell with a fag in my mouth
Fads
That was after the original name became… problematic.
We had the same issue with the “negerzoenen” in the Netherlands (negrokisses translated). They changed it to “zoenen” or “chocozoenen”.

I recall these having Spider-man on the box for a while.
I was eating candy pipes into the 2010s
Used to get candy cigarettes from the ice cream man in the 90s (maybe even early 00s)
Those were so cool
