    Friend had a fake cigarette some 25+ years ago and it had orange crumbled foil at the end which looked like it’s glowing under light. No batteries.

      Yeah, we had one as a prop in the 90s that had orange foil inside and a mesh in front, so when it moved around the fire looked alive.

      And you’d load it with flour and blow through it to make a pretty convincing puff of smoke.

      Okay. I once had a real e-vape that looks like a real cigarette. Given that the post appears to be something of a product review, I’m mostly inclined to think it’s a vape.

          I don’t see any Amazon logo to confirm nor deny if that’s where it came from. I admit though that I don’t do any shopping from Amazon, so I dunno.

          Guess I might take your word on it, with a grain of salt though. I have no clue if it might have come from eBay or any of the other online companies… 🤷‍♂️
