[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]would you all be good if I gave your kids those fake candy cigarettes that were popular is the 70's? we loved pretending we were so cool smoking them. and yes, I did end up being a smoker because I did think it was cool. don't smoke now but based on my experience, I would not want to glamorize drinking. give them the drink but dont let them think it is a margarita.[/quote]

I got that fake candy cigarettes in the  late 1990s and have never smoked a cigarette.  Y[b]ou smoked because you are old and didnt knoe better back then. [/b]You are probably old enough to be my mom. Different times. [/quote]

Actually it was already pretty well-established in the 1970s, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, that cigarettes were bad for you.

:XD:

Fellow dino here.  It was well established, yes.  When we outgrew candy smokes  we went to the same store and bought the real ones if we were so inclined.

We knew better.[/quote]
+1. The Brady Bunch even did an episode of Greg getting caught smoking. Carol even said that we know so much more about how smoking is bad for your health. This was 1971.

Leave it to Beaver also did an episode with Wally smoking. I remember June being upset with Wally smoking because it was bad. Not sure if the reason for bad was because of health reasons or because only bad kids smoked and how could Wally be bad? This must have been late 50's or 60's. Regardless, the message was the same even back then - smoking was bad.[/quote]

If the dangers were so incredibly well known and those dangers accepted by society, why were there student smoking lounges in all high schools and some jr high schoolls?

I too find it amazing that the first poster here, despite watching an episode of leave it to Beaver ended up a smoker as a result of that first puff on a candy cigarette.[/quote]
