Oh, like candy cigarettes and big league chew.

Yeah... Which was also a bad idea... of which most of the world won't accept in the modern age.

Big league chew, I guess was a bit more on the fence because it's less obvious and it avoids any words that directly link it to chewing tobacco.

    yeah I saw that on another post... and did look it up myself, in the US they can be sold, but legally they cannot include the word cigarette anywhere in the labeling or packaging, on amazon they do indeed put it in the title of the listing, which is against the law, but not particularly well enforced, the packages themselves though you can also see clearly they don't use the word cigarette for exactly that reason.
