    Sweet Cigarettes

    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Since the 1930s, Sweet Cigarettes had been popular with children.

    White sticks of candy with a splodge of red at one end, they came in a rough facsimile of a fag packet and even had collectable cigarette-style cards in them.

    But attitudes to smoking were changing, and by the end of the 1970s, sweet cigarettes became ‘candy sticks’ and the red tip disappeared.
