Smoking ''CANDY''!?

That's pretty cool. I'm going to follow up with a rambling mess. Please enjoy.
Some of the kids at the lunch table I sat at at the high school I went to my freshman year convinced a boy who sat with us that because Ben Gay tingled on the skin it would make a good lubricant for, um, self-gratification. He ended up making a hospital visit. I'd have probably said something up front, but I thought he was only playing stupid enough to believe them.
Kids at that same high school used to crush up "white cross" (a stay-awake aid more commonly used by truckers) and snort 'em.
But my kids have told me that kids at their school will crush and snort frikkin' crackers. So, yes, I'd have to say there has been a decline in the general education or intelligence.
In French class, my junior and senior years of high school, I used to take the erasers, tap the chalk dust out of them into lines on my desk, then lean down, cover the front of my nose with my hands (in the style of cocaine snorters) and noisily breath out through my nose. Which had the effect of scattering the dust faster than the eye could follow, making it look and sound like I had snorted it up.
I would then wipe my nose and mouth with my hands (spreading white powder off of my hands all over the bottom of my face), look up, and say, "I LIKE it!" - which really only has the maximum effect for people who have seen the Chevy Chase movie Modern Problems, but still had enough of the desired effect on my classmates and French teacher. 
More recently, at my previous employer where I did retail computer repair, I was playing with a can of compressed air used for spraying dust out of PCs. If you hold those cans upside-down, they spray out a visible cone. So I was holding that way beside my head, with the little spray tube down in front of my mouth. Cute, a couple of times. Then I accidently breathed in instead of out once. Don't ever do that. I nearly blacked out, and I did end up on my rump.
IDIOCRACY by Mike Judge Any body see this movie? if you havent, please do! I fear we as a race or heading down this direction! A narrator explains that in modern society, natural selection has become indifferent toward intelligence, so that in a society in which intelligence is systematically debased, stupid people easily out-breed the intelligent, creating, over the course of five centuries, an irremediably dysfunctional society. Demographic superiority favors those least likely to advance society.[1] Consequently, the children of the educated élites are drowned in a sea of sexually promiscuous, illiterate, alcoholic, degenerate peers.

I really don't see what the big deal is here. Kids have sticking things in orifices other than their mouth since the beginning of time.
This doctor that was interviewed basically explained why it's stupid to put anything up your nose, not just candy.
The worst case scenario would be a Smartie stuck up up the nose that eventually dissolve on its own and it's POSSIBLE (although there are no reported cases of this) that you could get an infection (which you can get from anything).
So it's like this:
Tell your kids not to stick things up their nose and not to inhale candy and if they don't listen they can learn the hard way as to why it's stupid.

I remember kids snorting pixi sticks when I was in elementary school back in the early 90's... this is nothing new... well except that they are putting vids up on youtube...
"We both know you won't get halfway to Vergon 6 before THE CRAVING sets in. Then, you'll come crawling back for some sweet, sweet candy. .....BAM."

Doesn't bother me, any kid stupid enough to do this deserves the damaged lungs they're going to end up with.
If they want to smoke candy, I say let's supply them with plenty of it.

I remember that one day, a friend of a friend actually cut up the sherbet from a sherbet dib-dab on the desk with a bank card and pushed it into a line and then snorted it. Poor bloke was in agony from the burning, and was sneezing & blowing his nose the rest of the day. I've lost touch with him but feel pretty damn sure he never went on to snort coke. 
I wonder if it's possible to get lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis from years of sherbet exposure?I remember that one day, a friend of a friend actually cut up the sherbet from a sherbet dib-dab on the desk with a bank card and pushed it into a line and then snorted it.

Dunno, but he probably has Type II diabetes by now.
Either way, I'd hate to be his ENT surgeon. "You again?!

I remember those.
Did you hold them like proper cigarettes too? I did. I remember as a kid, I even used to tap them to knock off pretend ash. Mind you, I was greedy enough to never flick away a butt.
(I'm actually a non-smoker in case you were wondering!)
I remember those too. In fact, there are now pencil candies out there.

There has to be a documented lung condition caused by inhaling too many sweets - Confectioner's Lung, I shall call it.

OK... that's a little over the top. Despite the fact that it's highly unlikely that a kid is going to damage their lungs doing this, you probably wouldn't say that if it was your kid.
It's one thing to take the approach like mine that it's relatively harmless and stupid and to advise your kids against it but to suggest that "any kid stupid enough to do this deserves the damaged lungs they're going to end up with," is pretty cold-hearted. Kids do stupid things all the time, it's kind of fucked up to wish for them to have damaged lungs because of it.

That's because my kids would never be so stupid.
It's called ''THINING THE HERD''
let the stupid die! if that's ''cold-hearted'' then don't blame me, blame the idiot's out there that make me cold-hearted!
