Do they often keep a stock of Smarties?
Does one of your friends’ kids often have
Smarties? Well, that may be a sign that they
are smarties. Don’t jump right to the conclusion that they are, but definitely investigate and find out if they are or not. If you
have never heard of smoking Smarties, take
a look at this article to learn more about it
and the dangers of smoking Smarties.
Now for the dangers of smoking Smarties.
For one, kids who smoke the Smarties will
more than likely develop a chronic cough
if they continue to smoke them. They will
develop what is known as the smokers
cough. After a person smokes cigarettes for
so long, they will develop a cough. This is
the same cough that kids will develop from
smoking this candy.
When parents think of Smarties, they
often think of candy that kids love. The
truth is, this has become one of the newest
fads for kids. Kids are taking the Smarties,
crushing them up and smoking them. Yes,
it sounds a bit crazy, but they are. The kids
simply crush the Smarties until the whole
package is powder. Then they will cut a
hole in one end of the package and use that
end to inhale the powder. Once they inhale
the powder, they will blow it back out and
it gives the illusion that they are smoking a
cigarette.
Another thing that happens is often
times, the candy will get caped up in the
child’s nose. When this happens, maggots
will often climb inside the child’s nose and
start feeding off of the candy. This can
cause many problems, not to mention it is
absolutely disgusting.

Another danger of smoking this candy
is choking. Often times when kids inhale
this candy, they will cough, but it can go
a step further and they can choke. Imagine
inhaling this powder created from this
candy. If you have ever accidentally inhaled
any kind of powder, you can half way
imagine what it’s like to inhale this candy.
