    Illinois is one step closer to cracking down on e-cigarettes disguised as school supplies.

    Lawmakers in the state propose banning e-cig ads that could confuse adults into thinking they are everyday items, like highlighters and erasers.

    The Illinois Department of Revenue, Attorney General, and local law enforcement would enforce the legislation, media oulets are reporting.

    On Wednesday, Senate Bill 2662 was unanimously approved by the House Executive Committee. The bill is now headed to the House floor for further consideration.

    The vape industry has always had an image problem. Rogue industry players have long been using cartoon characters and youth-friendly names that seemingly entice youth to use e-cigarettes.

    This has led to regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use a heavy hand when enforcing the products.

    Nothing highlights the issue more than an offering from High Light Vape, which is selling a vape pen disguised as a highlighter.

    High Light Vape’s “Office 4” e-cigarette has vibrant neon colors and an angled tip, making it identical to a regular highlighter often used by youth in school and home settings.

    The controversial product provides 4,000 puffs and comes in 20 different flavors, lending itself to being used in schools unnoticed by teachers.

    In a statement to NewsNation, High Light Vape said the design is meant to be a “discreet solution” for people who wish to avoid “scrutiny from their peers” within “professional environments.”

    “Emblazoned on our packaging is the prominent age restriction of 21 and older, a testament to our unwavering commitment to refraining from sales to minors,” the company added.
