Puff-Puff Cigar · Puff-puff cigar in display box
The product poses a chemical risk because the joke cigars could foreseeably be not only blown into but also inhaled, as with real cigars. The inhaled starch-talcum mixture may lead to respiratory tract irritation and inflammation and, depending on the frequency and intensity, delayed effects cannot be ruled out.
