Viral TikTok shows man's brand new Mercedes telling him vaping is 'very unhealthy'
James Carter
A man couldn’t believe what he was seeing after his brand-new ‘fancy’ Mercedes picked up on vape smoke in his car.
He posted the link on his TikTok account, and it has since gone absolutely viral, being viewed over 16 million times.
His Mercedes has an add-on HEPA (high-energy particulate arresting) filter, and the quality of the interior and exterior air quality appears on the man’s dashboard screen.
It’s fair to say that the car wasn’t impressed by the habit.

The Mercedes wasn’t happy with the vaping
The man who goes by the name Sheldon and the Tiktok handle @thisdadtiktoks, asked his passenger to demonstrate something for his video.
He requested that his passenger, named Kevin, take a puff from his vape and blow it onto the floorboard.
Kevin obliged, and the consequences were swift.
@thisdadtiktoks 🤯😭 SHARE THIS! We dont know the long term effects. OMG! #mercedesbenz #eqe350 #eqe350plus #ev #electriccar #mercedes #quitvaping #vapingisbad #themoreyouknow #sharethis #stopvaping ♬ original sound – Sheldon | TikTok Dad
The Mercedes may not have an in-built Playstation, but it nonetheless has a unique feature.
The interior air quality on the Mercedes quickly dropped from ‘good’ to unhealthy, and Sheldon let out a gasp.
We’re not talking about the car saying the air quality was just a little unhealthy—it reported a PM 2.5 level of 200, indicating poor air quality.
For those unfamiliar, PM 2.5 measures fine particles in the air.
High levels are considered a health risk, as inhaling them can lead to various illnesses and diseases.
In short, the Mercedes sent a clear message to Kevin that he needs to stop vaping ASAP.
The Mercedes HEPA filter kicked in
After the alert, the Mercedes swiftly fixed the issue. Its HEPA filter activated, restoring the interior air quality to ‘good,’ with PM 2.5 levels dropping back down.
Luckily, the car came to their rescue.
While you could argue it’s an odd passenger feature, Sheldon was thankful.
“I love you, Mercedes,” he said.
Would you stop vaping if your car told you to?
