Perhaps we just have to accept that things you can't smell are most likely not real, and assess the things we see on the internet in that light.

No, you're definitely right, and I agree. I suppose my question is more intended at protecting the average consumer. I wasn't alive for this, but I understand candy cigarettes used to be popular, and they were advertised at children, but the government cracked down on it.
