it is a dangerous new trend sweeping the nation involving the popular candy smarties. do you remember those? well, instead of eating them, children are snorting them.

kelly wright joins us with more on this new trend. kelly? >> heather, it's unbelievable. president candy is called smarties, just as you stated. but some kids in middle schools are doing a pretty dumb thing with it. take a look at this. yeah, that's pretty bad. it's a trend that's been going on since 2007 but now it's gone viral on youtube. instead of eating the smarties candy, some kids are now crushing it then snorting it as if it were cocaine. the candies are not addictive and kids can't even get high from it, but they're finding out the hard way that smarties can be harmful. doctors at the mayo clinic say it can cause allergic reactions such as lung infections, chronic coughing and choking. and this is pretty disgusting. one doctor says it can even cause maggots to gather in the nose. so why do it? no one seems to have the answer. but adults do have concerns.
