I was in a newsagency recently where they kept a selection of high-end markers behind the counter including the ones in the photo. I asked if this was to protect against theft. Their response that it was to stop people coming in an sniffing them for a high.
Is this a thing? Are there people coming into your newsagency to sniff markers to get a rush or a high?
I remember it happening many ago but have not heard of it recently. Hence the question. I would love to hear from others on this.
I can understand being careful about product placement to protect against theft of these markers as I can imagine they would be popular with taggers, but not for sniffing in-store.
And for the record, the newsagency in question is in a capital city serving a broad range of people, not specific demographic.
Never caught anyone sniffing markers LOL
But theft is certainly a issue particularly with the large markers and paint markers

Our big high-end markers are kept behind the counter.
Reason 1) theft
Reason 2) following the theft they are used to graffiti the local area…
