Sadly of course
There is always a voice of fervor
Who hates that we live
In a world filled with terror
But be it what it may
I loved to be a kid in the month of May
And I never hated that I had
A candy cigarette as a young lad in my heart
Look folks, the simple fact is that G-d is not a G-d of foolishness and yes you can give me the argument that every kid who tries a candy cigarette might get the urge to smoke a real one. I enjoy a cigar store and the nice thing is that when a little kid goes in there, we have a bubble gum cigar that we can give the kid. I really do not know if it will make him into a cigar smoker when he turns 18 but I really do think that the kid gets a kick out of the experience and happiness from the friendships.
This does not entirely equate to the candy cigarette that you probably got for halloween, but I really think that when I myself did smoke a cigarette, it was from no fantasy I had as a child.
Really if the child becomes a fantasizing child from a piece of candy, we are really in trouble as the facts are simple. Candy also gives us diabetes and maybe you should ban all candy as it is. More children will get diabetes from their eating habits than a fantasing soul will pick up a pack of Marbolos for the rest of his life from a candy cigarette
And let me say this.
Liberalism is a great thing. We have shining examples of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Candy cigarettes are a time for happiness and if you are a smart parent, its a great time to give your child a lecture on the sickness associated with a true cigarette addiction. The kids are going to learn at one time or another.
So be it what it may, I disagree we should remove the candy cigarette from the stores. Any how, I probably only got to enjoy them maybe 4 times in my whole life anyhow.
And lets be frank here.
The very nature of a "breaking the rules" at early childhood does not make for a tyrant or a liar, but a man and woman who respects the rules but realizes you can sway a little bit. In fact it prevents tyranny in exactatude. The mischief of a child is not the crime of the century.
Lets keep having candy cigarettes, but maybe you can put a surgeon generals warning on them too. The kid might learn a few life experiences are true and different.
