elena_398 Posted November 28, 2006 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.
bayhaysay Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 My Dollar General store carries them. They even have superheroes on the packages. Let me know if you don't find any near you and I'll send you some.
Guest JeepMom Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 http://www.oldtimecandy.com/candy-cigarettes.htm Candy Cigarettes - box of 24 packs - $5.99
elena_398 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 THANK YOU! I already bought him his regular gifts, but I figured this will be funny on christmas morning. Im going to check how much shipping is from that site.
Kandy Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 The Gas station next to our house still carries these and so does the Dollar Tree.
mmm40 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Gee. I would have thought with all the controversy they would have stopped making them.
Kandy Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 They now call them Candy Sticks the one at the dollar store are not in boxes like lucky strikes etc. like they used to be.... they have spiderman and such on the them

elena_398 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 I'll have to check further. I went into Speedy's today but they didn't sell them. Thanks all. Guess I'll be on a hunt (Dollar tree by me closed so I'll have to travel alittle ways to the other one, but will if I don't find them soon)
tokanm Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 They have everything here...oldies but goodies etc. I think it is the biggest candystore in New England. They do online as well. Good Luck! www.yummies.com PSThey also have bubble gum cigarettes too
krolyat Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Our local Sam's club carries them if you were looking to buy them in bulk
elena_398 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 I have a Sams club membership. Wonder how much. I'll have to take a trip there.
