    Anyone know a UK store where these can be bought? Can get them from the US but the shipping quote was $70+ for 2 cartons which cost $48. Anyone ever bought these from the UK?

    Are they not available over here any more? I used to have them as a kid.
    Maybe they are banned or at least shunned as they are in bad taste these days.

    I'm pretty sure chocolate cigarettes were banned as they were apparently encouraging children to smoke, and think of it as being cool.

    Smoking is cool though, buying chocolate cigarettes never influenced me as a child, and I still turned out cigarettes.....

    You and I know that, but the kids aren't supposed to figure it out until they're a bit older.

    Aye I remember that - and then they changed the name to chocolate sticks or something.

    (funny side story, amazing what kids pick up, my friends 17month old!! was out in the garden with her nan who was smoking (away from her) and she turned around to check she was ok, and she'd picked up a butt she found and had it stickin out of her mouth!!! kids are too quick!)
