I guess each generation has its thing.
When I was in Gr. 6, one of the candy manufacturers started making bubblegum "cigarettes". The gum was tube shaped, wrapped in white wax paper, and there was powder under the paper. When you blew through the tube, the powder would puff out. From a distance, it looked like we were smoking, and yes, it did freak out the grown-ups.
It was stupid then, and it's stupid now. And BOY, did we ever get in trouble from the school Principal.
I agree Susie. Having smarties shouldn't warrant punishment. Using them to "smoke" should.
