Name one thing from your childhood

Pity they aren't Politically Correct anymore.
They're still being sold though. But in cheaper unknown brands.(serious) and unbranded packs. What I saw last was named candy sticks.

Now that I've finally let go them damned stinkies, and understand the hold they had over me, along with how my addiction manifested ... I'm dead against anything that promotes smoking ... and pro anything, (vaping in this context), that helps break the addiction!
 
Just as well Stew, as kids would still be doing what I did ... mimicking my Dad with sweeties with a natural progression to full blown smoking by age 8 :facepalm:
Myself and two buddies hung out for years together. Myself and one of them smoked and the other guy never touched a cigarette. It's all personal choices in my opinion.

Based on your statistics of two smokers and one non smoker above, I'd say your own odds are stacked in favour of the argument of NO cigarette promotion whatsoever, (which includes the sale of toys and sweets that emulate or promote smoking in any manner or form).

There are numerous studies available to further support this argument, (some of which have formed the basis of / and or supported the various international anti smoking movements respective laws and bans), so whilst I agree that everything in life ultimately comes down to a choice, the objective of any product promotion is to sway that very choice you speak of, to which children are clearly soft targets, they being more easily coerced and manipulated.

That guy had to be very scared for a Pak slae.
