Can you spot the difference between a vape and a highlighter?
Under the disguise of "classroom supplies" students are sneaking in these e-cigarettes into schools.
According to the Detroit Free Press, High Light sells an e-cigarette, coming in 20 flavors, which look exactly like a highlighter and allowing students to sneak them into schools.
Designed with bright colors and an angled tip, the packaging of High Light's product allows people to carry a vape in secret, but school resource officers are catching on.
High Light is not the first to sell vapes disguised as everyday items. Other vapes are made to look like USB drives, ball point pens and even cell phones.
While long term effects of e-cigarettes are still being studied, nicotine can cause problems to adolescent bodies that are still developing.
