Tobacco And Candy

I've found that there are many candies that look like tobacco products, Pocky, Big League Chew, Popey "Candy Sticks".  I've also found that there are many tobacco products that look like candy, those long brown cigarettes, some cigars look like chocolate bars, and so on.  If you think about it, smoking and candy often serve a similar purpose.  They both provide a moment of physical pleasure and also give you something to do with your hands.  You could argue that smoking is worse for you than eating candy, but they really do have their similarities.  It's no wonder that both of these industries keep crossing paths, much to the dismay of public health groups.
