Why Are Teens Smoking Candy (Smarties)?

Posted on 20 March 2009 by Brian James

smoke_smarties

Can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with teens these days? First we find out that they’re getting wasted by soaking tampons in alcohol and inserting them into (below the waist) orifices. Now we find tons of YouTube videos of America’s youth “smoking” Smarties candy. All I have to say is that Generation Y (my peers) are not nearly as doomed as “Generation My birth was broadcast live online.” These kids are going to LOVE pot. Click through for for the best “how to smoke Smarties candies” videos…

    I’m going to go ahead and forget that candy cigarettes already exist, along with toy cigarettes that look like they’re actually lit- and all the while saying “What’s wrong with kids these days!?”

  7. TaranQ Says:

    This just proves that humans are the stupiest beings on earth..

  8. Will Ehrhardt Says:

    I saw this and assumed they were getting high.
    After finally watching the videos, I’m truly impressed with how the youth are spending their time.

    LMFAO…………..LMAO………HAHAHAHA………….AHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA………………ok ok *serious face* ………..HAHAHAHA HAHA HOLY SHIT THIS GENERATION IS FUCKIN DUMB!!! i would seriously not give a shit to see them smoking cigarettes, but this……..THIS my friends is a NEW LOW! hahaha

    Kids these days are not as crazy as you think. there is more technology these days and we are just having fun. Correct me if im wrong, but the old generations are the ones that are the ones in charge of the world today. And no, teens do not love pot!! me and my friends have *smoked* smarties and we think drugs are stupid. Smoking isn’t a good term to use either, we just say it because it merely looks like you are smoking. However, all you do is crush the candy into powder and suck onto your tongue (not actually breathing it in) and blow it out! that is when the powder (which was just sitting on your tongue, not in your lunges like a real cigarette) will poof out into the air! This way kids/teens get the enjoyment and pleasure of looking like your smoking but not actually using a real cigarette! (which everyone knows you are not really smoking) So the older people of our world may think it is stupid, but you also were not born into a house with 3 flat screens and 2 computers, a cell phone in 3rd grade, and txting. You are used to playing out in the streets untill it gets dark and running inside to eat dinner. you had a few dolls and books and that was it. You even had to share phone lines with other peple! And im not saying anything bad about that, but thats what you are used to, so anything that is different you think is wrong. Just like when these teens grow up, and they have kids, their kids will thing out generation is weird. By then we may have flying cars and live on Mars! Pretending to smoke with candy and blowing candy powder out of your mouth (not lungs) is perfectly fine. Maybe you should be more concerned about the economy or global warming. Last time i checked, those are important topics. Everyone runs out of money, WE ARE DEAD! The tempetures get high and dozens of animal and plant species become extinct, WE STILL DIE! Teens crush up candy and blow it out of their mouth, WE DON’T DIE!!! I think I made my point.

    I have to agree with Anonymous on March 29th, 2009 12:33 am.

  12. Will Ehrhardt Says:

    Anonymous, not that I don’t see where you are coming from, but do you realize that you and your friends, just by making these videos, are putting smoking on some kind of fucked up pedestal? Crushing up smarties and PRETENDING to smoke them is not setting any better of an example to any of your peers, or even kids younger than you, because all you are really doing in the end is gloryfying how “cool” it is to have the “smoke” pouring out of your mouth.

    It’s only a matter of time before you’re cookin’ up the crack rock, and that is the real problem here.

    I do agree that the economy, or the war, or even the environment is more important. This is what we like to call humor, because us “old people” think this is absolutely hilarious. Stop smoking smarties, go outside and play, then come back in for dinner. You’ll be better off that way.

  13. abcdefg . Says:

    I agree that it makes kids maybe try to smoke because they see how cool it wud be but then again kids are kids && they just want to have fun, and it isn’t really smoking if they dnt inhale it.

  14. justin Says:

    Well its the point they are praciticng it and think its cool. Hell that black kids got it down and hes like what 8? They enter highschool and they are gunna remember oh ya it was fun with the smarties…. lets do it for real!

    Just a bummer because they are putting a “mind set” of smoking somthing…. so most are bound to try the “Real” smoking later in life.

    -.-

  15. aangr Says:

    lol wat?

  16. Koldkid Says:

    Wow. Ok That Isn’t Even Smoking & Labeling That As Smoking Is Stupid Because When People Hear “Kids” & “Smoking” In The Same Sentence, They Flip & Blame It On Cigarette, & Cigar Smokers. Then Who Gets Punished, The Normal People That Smoke Cigarettes & Cigars. I Don’t Care That Kids Are Doing That With Candy, Just Don’t Call It Smoking Because That’s Not Smoking.

  17. LOLWTF Says:

    Haha, smoking smarties, what a joke.
    You wana smoke? Go out there cop some bud and smoke that shit up

  18. Subt Says:

    What idiots. But this is your the effect of your “liberalism” at work america.

    And to ogill, they are known as Smarties here in the USA:

    (but we also have the chocolate ones)

  19. smokeybandit Says:

    I’m in my 30s, and I can remember my classmates doing this back in the 80s.

    But now all of a sudden this is a new thing and it’ll lead to kids becoming drug addicts? C’mon.

  20. Jilliaj Says:

    “It’s only a matter of time before you’re cookin’ up the crack rock, and that is the real problem here.”

    Now smoking candy is a gateway too? This is crazy. Going from smoking smarties to cookin’ up the crack rock? I’m sorry, but I don’t think so.

  21. sean Says:

    ok. if any of you adults think smoking smarties is dumb than go die in a hole. i am living in hell and i think real drugs are dumb. this is my only way out. so screw you. back off and leave us be!

  22. Mary Says:

    DON’T ASK WHAT’S GOING ON WITH KIDS TODAY ONLY ALSO ASK WHERE ARE THE PARENTS!!!! WE AS PARENTS NEED TO BE MORE INVOLVE WITH OUR KIDS AND TEACH THEM GOOD MORALS AND VALUES. UNFORTUNALLY THIS IS THE NEW GENERATION AND WE NEED TO BE MORE PENDING OTHERWISE WILL BE LOST.. IS VERY SAD AND UNFORTUNATE

  23. Ryan Says:

    Gill. There not called smarties where you live. In America, your candy “rockets” are smarties

  24. Kev Says:

    ITS JUST CANDY WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM KIDS R JUST TRYIN TO HAVE FUN AND THERE IS NO HARM OF THAT IF THEY START SMOKIN CRACK OR CIGGS ITS BECUZ U PARENTS ARE NOT INVOLE WITH THEM MUCH OR NOT GIVIN THEM ANY ATTENTION.

  25. Jesslynn Says:

    YALL ARE STRAIGHT FUCKN STUPID!

  26. Jane Says:

    yeah but ‘Anonymous on March 29th, 2009 12:33 am.’ and anyone who agrees with them,
    kids ARE our future.
    They need to focus on school rather then blunts.
    Sure the economies bad now, could you imagine how our country is going to be in 100 years if we have people smoking candy and pot running it?
    you should put more thought into your oppinion.
    i think this is morally inexceptable.

  27. Haley Says:

    Lol man kids are stupid these days. Someone give them some pot. Jebus.

    Also to the British chick who said smarties are filled with chocolate, only in the UK. Smarties in the US are also called “Sweet tarts” they’re pure sugar discs smaller than a penny that can easily be ground up into a pixi stick like powder.

    I just don’t get it though. Does it get you high? If not, what’s the point? Smoking things only scars and damages your lungs, if you’re not going to get any type of benefit out of it besides befuddling the older generations, why bother?

    I saw this on a Dr. Phil commercial and didn’t believe it could be true. Seriously, wtf is wrong with this generation? So strange!

  28. Malikka Says:

    Omg. This is pretty much the craziest thing i’ve seen ever! I’m 16 and I have friends who really do smoke and it bothers me but this.. wow. children smoking candy?. thats going too far. I think someone should do something. I mean it might not be harmful but there getting the wrong idea from adults and even adults shouldn’t smoke but people do what they want.

  29. Blah Says:

    Put some sugar in a petri dish and look inside in a day or two then tell me you still want some of that in your lungs.

    This reminds me of the stuff people do in jail. They’ll smoke a coffee bag.

  30. Anonymous Says:

    what the hell is wrong with kids. after all the crap about smoking ANYTHING or doing stupid crap they still do this crap.
    This society is really teaching our kids alot of good. Yeah right.
    Kids are our future. Even though this country is in crap right now
    can you imagine this country with our teens running it in the future when they have no brain cells left? Unbelievable!!!

  31. christina Says:

    i don’t get how smoking candy is bad

  32. Anonymous Says:

    no matter how many times you tell them its wronge they’re gonna do it. it’s not even wronge.
    everyone is blowing this out of proportion, just like the swine flu

  33. WTF Really Says:

    Are you serious, that’s pretty ridiculous, have you guys seen the medical repercussions of smoking these things, I mean, the bacteria from the sugar on the areas that it lands can be a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause infections.

    …. You all are ridiculous, you wanna smoke try it, I don’t care, but candy really? Come on.

  34. Anonymous Says:

    Perhaps the reason why the children are doing this,is because their parents are too strict. My parents allowed me to have a sip of wine or beer as a child, and when I was around 13 years old I was able to have a half a cooler under the supervision of my parents. As I got older I was able to drink more, and my parents would buy me alcohol. I think people are forgetting that things like getting drunk as a teen or trying pot is all apart of coming age. I am now a university student with a good average. I think maybe parents have become way to strict, which as made children resort to other ways of getting high, such as using chemical? I am not in anyway saying it is ok for teens to be doing drugs, but would you rather your child experiment with a little bit of alcohol/smoke pot, or use really harmfull chemicals because that is all they can acces?

  35. ahahaha Says:

    lmao what the hell kids!!!! go to ur local drug dealer and ask him for a dime of weed!!! lolll u kids are fucked up where did this idea come from?!?!?

  36. Janet Says:

    THIS is by far the stupidest thing I’ve EVER seen. And what is the point in doing this? To “look” like you’re smoking cuz a little bit of what looks like “smoke” comes out of your mouth or your nose? They’re breathing in and out, powder – THAT’S IT.

    Wow – what a trip!! I could actually see if they were getting high in doing this but – given these dumb ass kids are just breathing in and out – powder? These kids need some serious counseling not to mention a flip pin life!!!

    SO sad to SEE what kids today are doing with their spare time….

  37. Janet Says:

    OH! Important mention: I am the mother of 2 grown boys; age 19 and 21. In all their teen years, they never did or WOULD try something as ridiculous as this. AGAIN – if you wanna smoke shit and if you wanna get high – call your local dope smokin dealer. At least then, you’re actually smoking something that MIGHT make you feel good and NO DOUBT is healthier for you than smoking the shit that goes in to candy. Hey, remember jube jubes? Or, how about gummies? Put THOSE in your “rubber pipe” and smoke that shit!! Formaldehyde and wax!!! WOW – what a buzz that must be. Come on kids; join an after school club and do something productive with your spare time or, as mentioned earlier, call someone who has some weed. It’s FAR safer to do that this shit. Oh, what happens in the case of an overdose? You’d kill for a smartie or a gummie worm??

    LMAO -

    This is the stupidest thing ever. Ever.

  40. Another Anonymous Says:

    The problem is that sugar is food for bacteria and fungus… and in one kids case MAGGOTS….
    If fruit fly larvae and maggots in your nose is your thing… smoke your smarties!

  41. Joey Says:

    ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? seriously..WHO GIVES A SHIT IF THEY ARE “SMOKING” SMARTIES? everyone thinks that the kids who are doing this will soon end up smokin weed or cigarettes sometime later..i think that kids are doing this to AVOID doing drugs. For Dr.Phil to make a show about this is completely retarted. I am 100% american, but now i can see why most americans are truly stupid at times, for worrying about things like this. americans over react about everything, for instance, as we did with the swine flu. GROW UP.

  42. Jim Says:

    I can blow that crap out of my nose lol my son showed me and i tried it it gives you all the taste not bad not bad.

  43. BVag Says:

    Wow just because you grew up with texting and computers and flat screen Tv’s doesn’t somehow make it normal to be smoking candy in some kind of lame version of simulating smoking cigarettes you think smoking cigs is dumb? Kids are blowing this out of their mouths and whether you want to believe it or not a certain amount of this is hitting the back of your throat and landing right into your lungs i was just watching tv and saw them talking about how kids might as well be smoking cigarettes because inhaling the candy is worse for you. I’m 19 and im not sure if that casts me in with this generation but to me it just seems like the same old thing thats been going on kids simulating drug use to “have fun” or “seem cool” atleast get out there and do real drugs so you can get a high theres absolutely no fun in simulation and it seems to me like its just a way to fit in, and if your kids doing it they probably have some self-esteem issues. i dont think this is a big deal now and it is fucking hilarious…right now. the youth of today gets more and more fucked up every ten years. right now there’s a massive heroin craze going on especially in the south, and in boston. and if kids think things like this are fun drugs like heroin and meth will become even more socially acceptable. so yeah you’re right its not a big deal right now and there are more important things going on,but the solution to those problems are the people that will lead in the future and thats us. one day drug simulation will lead to the curiosity of trying the real thing…then will it be a problem? when it goes to the point of your kid playing with candy to becoming a junky? trust me i know, there’s nothing worse than becoming an addict so fast you don’t even realize it. its a psychological disorder and it all starts somewhere. Why not here?

  44. Scott S Says:

    Wow, you people are idiots. this aint new shit. actually in the uk its fags and a bottle o white lightning, not smarties! haha the end is nigh!!! kids acting like they’re…DUN DUN DUN… SMOKING!!!!! *ghasps

  45. haha wtf Says:

    heheh

  46. Sean Says:

  47. me Says:

    nowon’s gunna die. hoo cares. its candy. WTF if kids smoke 4 reel wuts it gunna do2 u just let them smoke smarties

  48. Tara Says:

    I just need to say that I am a teen and I have never even heard of kids smoking smarties first of all, and second of all if they do who fucking cares?! half of teens my age are actually smoking cigarettes and doing other drugs so why does it matter if they’re doing something just jokingly.

  49. Ryan#2 Says:

    Ok, at the begining of all this I had a great idea of what to say but reading all of your posts calling each other idiots, i have now forgot. give me a sec… I was raised up on you do something wrong you got whooped with a leather belt, for example stealing a 20 out of my moms purse. I was taken out side of the store and was whooped. let me tell you what I havent stolen since. ok kids are stating to act like there smoking thats one that a whooping won’t help, but seriously people we all have are own opinions and i think the kids doing this should also think about it and try to form there own opions. Like the older generations we all have the ability to tell ok this is the wrong thing to be doing or, ok this is the right way. Another thing i fell kinda bad about this post becuase your giving this kids attention for something that is ok in my books *stupid* so stop tellling them this is wrong this is right tell them some facts. tell them “hey, i thought you where better than sitting around smoking smarties.” thats all the attention they need not anymore otherwise they may go “hey, wtf man i get a B on my report card that i worked my ass for and they say thats great honey, but soon as i start playing with my food shes giving me all the attention, SWEET.” So seriously people dont make a hge deal out of this.

    (ok that was alot better than what i first came up with :)

  50. ... Says:

    ok then this is my fact 2 kids had died from smokin smarties and i think its frikkin stupid. why would you smoke candy. you eat it…not smoke it! i mean come on get a life. but seriously if you tell a kid not to do somethin then they are prolly gonna do it…well thats how i am anyway!

  51. Kecia Woods Says:

    how bored they must be!!!

  52. Jesus Christ Says:

    Given that the planet is in danger of overpopulation i think this trend is a good one. It appears to separate the normal worthwhile kids from the truly fucktarded. The fucktards die off early and the rest of us can enjoy the world without them.

    So I say: go on, kids, light up those pretend ciggies. Get right into the playacting and do whatever you can to fake maturity. May I suggest you all go play chicken with the cars on freeways….just for the lulz?

    But above all, remove yourselves from the gene-pool and leave the planet for those of us who aren’t quite as pathetic as you

  53. ... Says:

    Says the guys who mispells “stupidest”…

  54. ... Says:

    Truly well said… Kids smoking candy, adults smoking the real thing. Yet many of you lecture the kids on the internet for being “stupid”?….. Really amazing…

  55. Andrew W Says:

    If these kids think snorting smarties is fun, wait till they snort some coke or smack (or even better both together.) They kids ain't felt nothing yet.

  56. mochagirl Says:

    normal people that smoke cigarettes? that's a joke….it is not NORMAL to be addicted to something.

  57. austin98989 Says:

    Actually i do it to its a little fun thing to (no you don't get high and you don't actually inhale it into your lungs ) just in your mouth dont breath it in tho you can cough and going out the nose burns

    umm, are you kids stupid? you like to blow smoke out of your mouth but you don't like smoking….. Let me know if I'm wrong or not but kids are blowing out dust to imitate smoking cigarettes to look cool? Sounds like to me you guys are lame as hell and are pussies. Either smoke cigarettes or be retard wannabes and smoke smarties. Or perhaps just not smoke??? Maybe consider that. Too bad this didn't start when i was in high school 3 years ago. Lots of people to laugh at and make fun of.

  67. Alice Says:

    I'm sorry, this si not even close to as bad as you're thinking it is.

  93. Anonymous Says:

    This takes me back. I remember going on road trips with my family growing up and I loved buying those candy cigarettes at the gas station. Is this really any different? I’m 28 and getting to this point I’ve tried things that I knew were wrong or bad but they didn’t stick. I don’t smoke pot or do drugs and I rarely drink. I do smoke cigarettes but I’m certain that would have happened without the candy cigarettes of my youth. In today’s society we are bombarded with so many different messages and kids are curious so their going to try things even if we don’t approve. All we can do is teach them the consequences and let them make their own choices.
