My friends Maaike and Mark in Amsterdam sent me this lovely toy they found in Paris. Yes, it is an entire play smoking kit, composed of toy cigarettes, pipe, lighter, and two packs of candy cigarettes. How cute! It's endearing that the French pass on their cultural traditions to their children — like toy guns here in America.

    Note the names of the candy cigarettes: "Kamikaze" and "Attack," the latter of which features a design akin to an electrocardiogram.
