Priced under S$5 (RM17.60) and boasting flavours like “power mint” and “succulent grapes”, a new breed of nasal inhalers, known as energy sticks, that claim to give users an energy boost and relieve nasal congestion is catching on among Singapore’s youths. Two sellers of energy sticks in Singapore say their clientele are mostly under 25, and some are as young as 12. Many are also repeat buyers, or those who buy in bulk and sell it on to their schoolmates. But are they really what they claim to be? These devices were put in the spotlight after two Members of Parliament asked the Ministry of Health (MOH) last week if it was monitoring their use among youths, and whether such products should be treated like vapes and e-cigarettes.
