On August 21, a user on Twitter, identified as being from the United States, posted a message about a "highlighter-like e-cigarette," which caught the attention of online users. The majority of users expressed concerns about the potential appeal of this e-cigarette to young people.

 

Internet users commented, "I have noticed that these e-cigarette companies still seem to be targeting young people, which is extremely disheartening.

 

Some internet users have also expressed their opinion that action should be taken against the individuals responsible for designing such products, suggesting that they should be fired. They believe that when these e-cigarette companies face legal action, teachers should actively participate in class-action lawsuits.

 

In addition, in recent days, several American media outlets including CBS and NewsNation, have reported on the concerning trend of fluorescent marker-shaped e-cigarettes, which has caught the attention of parents and teachers. It has also become a focus of regulatory authorities in the United States.

 

Experts are urging parents to take note of the learning materials they purchase and investigate if they find any unfamiliar items in their children's school bags or backpacks, according to a recent report.
