Microsoft urges users 'to not blow vape smoke into Xbox Series X' after viral videos

Soon after the launch of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft is already having to tell people not to blow vape smoke into their consoles. Microsoft’s plea comes after videos started flooding online about the Xbox Series X blowing smoke. According to a report in CNET, a Spanish-language unverified Twitter account called Xbox Studio dispelled the fake news showing how the smokey effect people were claiming was caused by overheating was actually achieved through blowing vape smoke into the console.

For the English people: I want to show you, how, with a Vapor and turning off the console, you can make a situation that looks like the console is "On Fire"

They even shared a tweet for English speaking users, writing, “I want to show you, how, with a Vapor and turning off the console, you can make a situation that looks like the console is “On Fire”.” The official Xbox account too had two tweet, “We can’t believe we have to say this, but please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X.”
