elena_398 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I know it sounds so odd, but its for a joke gift for my husband for christmas. He quit smoking 3 weeks ago (hes doing SUPER) and he is like the smoke police now (yes I still smoke but only outside and he rags me daily although I have cut down). He still fidgets and has to hold something all the time to curve his cravings. He's been sucking on altoids daily which seem to help. I thought it would be hilarious as he keeps saying he wants a cigarette (but he has will power so he doesn't) so I thought a case or at least several packs of candy cigarettes would be funny. He likes to hold pens in his hand as he says he feels like its a cigarette. This way, he gets to hold the candy cigarette and munch on them too. I thought of this as his friend found a pack and brought it to work the other night. He joked around to his employees that they were the only ones that he would smoke now. Figured he'd get a kick out of it. ( I called his friend and he said he got them at a corner store, but when I went there they didn't have any left). I figured a whole case would be funnier. anyone know of a wholesale place that would have these? Thanks for any help. ***Hes on a prescription stop smoking pill and didn't do it cold turkey. Our insurance pays 100% of the $130 a month prescription but only for him and not family members, hence why I have gotten it*** Too expensive for us for me to get on it.
