Emerging story
Social media accounts have recently circulated a photo alleging that it depicted a toy for kids that is shaped like a hookah, which children can use. The posts read that “this is your kid’s first hookah,” indicating that the toy is meant to get children used to smoking hookah from a young age.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulated claim and found it misleading. The photo was designed by an artist and creator going by the name Adam Padilla. The designer has a habit of modifying product content and has image editing programs to modify photos associated with toys, which are neither real nor for sale.
