I smoked Spaceman brand

There’s a big discussion on IMDB about confectionery in Life on Mars, which I am sure the Poms will love for its nostalgia value. It reminded me of the Spaceman Cigarettes that you could buy in New Zealand in the 1970s: petite sugar sweets in the shape of cigarettes, complete with red tip. My cousin and I had these as kids. And you know, I am a non-smoker. Never tried tobacco or anything harder or illegal. So is there a connection between smokers and “play-smoking”? I assume that that is why we can’t find Spaceman in the shops these days.
