As a sometimes smoker that is really cool for the social aspect...but honestly that does not look like Altoids, Trident, DoubleMint, or any other packaging I can readily remember.

Aren't all tobacco products behind the counter, anyway? What does it matter what the packaging looks like if the kids can't even access it without getting past an employee?

I just saw the packaging at a trade show last weekend and it never crossed my mind what the packaging looked like. Tabacco products are not accessible to kids until an adult buys them. Despite what the packaging looks like parents should be smart enough to know to keep them away from kids.

I have a much bigger issue with Jerky Chew that kids can buy and looks like a can of chew but has jerky in it. Didn't you have Cigarette Gum when you were a kid? Remember you could blow out and it looked like smoke. I loved those. I have never smoked an actual cigarette. I think there is more to it than packaging.

Packaging might not be the sole issue here with regards to the notion that these products are being marketing towards underage kids.

Look at the picture.  The smiling girl, who is clearly there to show us this is a cute, happy, fun product that she loves too, looks like she could be 15 years old.  Nice bright teen age colors in her wardrobe too.  At that age, she's a perfect role model for even younger kids.

With new and improved products like this, now your kids can get cancer and die before they graduate from High School!

Adults, do what you will.  Our taxes will cover your unbelievably burdensome cost of your chemo and hospice.  No worries!
