I've never seen a box of these actually marketed as candy cigarettes. They're usually just candy sticks but it's just something that kids always do regardless.

With that said over here there is no branding or marketing allowed on/of cigarettes, period. Nor are they allowed to be on display in any shop. So it's not too surprising that they're also not on candy. Cigarettes look like this here (content warning graphic smoking damage image):
