By this time next week NYC mayor and nanny state leader Michael Bloomberg will have made possession of Smarties a felony.

FOREST HILLS — A Forest Hills middle school principal is banning two types of candy because students are believed to be inhaling the sugary treat as they pretend to smoke it — possibly causing maggots to feed off the students’ noses.

Northern Hills Middle School Principal Nancy Susterka emailed parents on Friday, saying that sugar candies such as “Smarties” and “Pixy Stix” are now prohibited.

“In short, we have seen huge numbers of Smartie wrappers throughout the building and heard some rumblings about kids smoking it,” she wrote in a “Newsflash” email.

“This type of smoking does not require a match light however, it can cause some significant health issues. The candy is crushed and then re-rolled into a cigarette looking type object, they are inhaled which can cause infections, chronic coughing, choking and even maggots feeding off the sugar coated area in your nose (very extreme cases).

“While this isn’t a drug, practicing the behavior of inhaling can be attributed to the use of other inappropriate substances and I want to keep our kids healthy and safe.”
