Earlier in the week a video was shared across social media which appears to show smoke coming from an Xbox Series X console. The video was apparently made to give the impression that there was something wrong with the console in question, as some form of hoax.

However there wasn’t anything wrong with the console. The reason why the console was seemingly blowing smoke was because the console owner was blowing vape smoke into the bottom end of the Xbox Series X, causing the “smoke” to seep through the vents.
Check it out in the video below.

In an attempt to put a stop to this viral behaviour so that it doesn’t become a widespread issue across social media, the official Xbox page sent out a tweet.
“We can’t believe we have to say this, but please do not blow Vape smoke into your Xbox Series X,” said the page, officially creating a meme.

To add humour to the situation, Xbox followed-up with a tweet sharing links for any Xbox Series X related support.
“For any non-Vape related support questions please check out the info here,” the team tweeted.

To add further humour, Anthony Carboni host of Star Wars Emmy-Award winning show “We have Concerns” tweeted “You’re not my dad.”

Joking aside, if you own an Xbox Series X or any console for that matter, it doesn’t matter if you’re a member of Vape Nation or not, don’t blow vape smoke into your console.
