Candy cigarettes are a candy introduced in the early 20th century made out of chalky sugar, bubblegum or chocolate, wrapped in paper as to resemble cigarettes. Some products contain powdered sugar hidden in the wrapper, allowing the user to blow on the cigarette and produce "smoke" on the other end. Candy cigarettes' place on the market has long been controversial because many critics believe the candy desensitizes children, leading them to become smokers later in life. Because of this, the selling of candy cigarettes has been banned in several countries such as Brazil, Finland, Norway, the Republic of Ireland, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.〔 Candy cigarettes continue to be manufactured and consumed in many parts of the world. However, many manufacturers now describe their products as ''candy sticks'', ''bubble gum'', or ''candy''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=World Candies )〕 The U.S. state of North Dakota enacted a ban on candy cigarettes from 1953 until 1967. In Canada, federal law prohibits candy cigarette branding that resembles real cigarette branding,〔(Canada Tobacco Control Act 1997, Part IV, Section 27 )〕 and the territory of Nunavut has banned all products that resemble cigarettes.〔(Nunavut Tobacco Control Act 2003 ), Section 4〕 It was reported erroneously in 2010 that the (Family Smoking and Prevention Control Act ) bans candy cigarettes. However, the rule bans any form of added flavoring in tobacco cigarettes other than menthol.〔FDA. "(Tobacco Products )" FDA U.S. Food and Drug Administration.〕 It does not regulate the candy industry.
