Adults may never have heard of candy flavored tobacco products, but their kids or grandkids have.
“They’re kind of invisible except to kids,” said Dr. Mary Bonnette, chairwoman of the Tobacco-Free Lee Coalition.
Many youngsters are aware these products are readily available and come in all sorts of flavors.
“Smells like grape soda,” said Melissa Peacock, tobacco prevention specialist with the Charlotte County Health Department. “Tastes like grape soda.”
But these “invisible” products that taste like grape soda or watermelon or blueberry candy or sour apple or chocolate are infused with something else — nicotine. The candy makes the tobacco more palatable to young tastes.
