Smoking Smarties/ new trend

I saw a news report this last week that caught my attention. Recently there have been several videos posted on YouTube that have caught some people’s attention.  These videos feature kids and young teens giving tutorials on how to smoke smarties.  Yes you read that right SMOKE SMARTIES.  You remember these pill shaped candies, well if you crush them up into a powdered sugar and inhale them out of the package I guess it looks like you are smoking.   When I first heard this news story it automatically took me back to when I was a kid and I wanted to buy candy cigs because it made me feel cool.  That, and the fact I wasn’t allowed to buy them made me want them even more. So I guess kids are always curious when it comes to the unknown.   There really aren’t any medical concerns that are associated with this new trend.  However after watching what looks to be a 10-12 year old give instructions on how to smoke smarties.  I couldn’t help but wonder what’s next.  Does it start here and end with weed or even something else.  I’m not sure if any of you have heard of this or seen it in your community but this news story could definitely be a great spring board into talking to your kid and teen about the dangers of smoking.  Feel free to share your thoughts on this video and new trend.
