It depends on where you live. Smarties in America are mini fruit-flavored wafer things similar to sweettarts, but in Canada and the UK, Smarties are chocolates in candy shells (similar to M&Ms). American Smarties contain Calcium Stearate which I believe is an animal fat product. UK and Canada smarties contain a red dye made from crushed insects (cochineal) but if you are okay with that go ahead. I would say it would be best to contact these companies and ask them any questions you may have.
