How about swapping nicotine for some chocolate?
Brazilian company Cleiton gives a modern twist to chocolate cigarettes: classic milk chocolate bonbons, wrapped in fake cigarette packets.
Since their introduction, these cigarette sticks have become extremely popular in Brazil and other countries, with the idea that children could “smoke” them like adults. (there were other times, folks 😅)
The company takes inspiration from the packaging of an old fake cigarette candy brand called Chocolate Pan, which was especially popular in Brazil in 1947.
Combining this vintage aesthetic with vaping, the latest trend among teenagers, the team created the Chocolate vapezinhos.

Cleiton’s team came up with the idea for these chocolate vaporizers when they learned that the traditional Chocolates Pan company was going out of business. The brand’s chocolate cigarettes were very successful and the packaging became part of Brazilian popular culture.
The Vapezinho are wrapped in a modern reinterpretation of the original 1947 packaging design, sporting a bright red color with white lettering and a sepia figure of a young man holding a chocolate e-cigarette.
With this nostalgic packaging, the Brazilian company hopes to prevent young people from continuing to smoke.
“Since selling vaporizers is easier than getting candy from children, why not combine the two?” Cleiton asks on her official website. The Vapezinhos will come out in a limited edition of 50 pieces, each containing three chocolate vaporizers.
We here in the Newsroom strongly encourage you to choose the chocolate (or cigarette) vape!
