The candy police have come to Woodbridge. With all the real dangers in your child's world, you'll be happy to learn the Woodbridge Council is restricting the sale of candy cigarettes and those toy look-alikes that light up when 'puffed'.
The Ledger reports that the township, at the urging of councilman Charles Kenny, is pondering extending the ban it already has on sales by licensed event vendors to include all shops in New Jersey's fifth largest municipality.
There is actually a group, The Campaign For Tobacco-Free Kids, which dedicates its energies to the banishment of these dangerous candies.
John Winthrop would be proud.
