Social media is brimming with jaw-dropping videos where people risk it all for online fame. From performing dangerous stunts on moving vehicles to engaging in reckless dares, the pursuit of viral glory often overshadows safety concerns. One recent video that has garnered widespread attention shows a man attempting to light a cigarette using the modified exhaust of a luxury car.
In the viral footage, posted on Instagram, a man is seen dangerously holding a cigarette near the exhaust of a bright yellow Porsche, in an attempt to light it. As the car engine starts, a flame comes out of the modified exhaust pipe, igniting the cigarette and causing injury to the person holding it.
The caption accompanying the video reads, “What’s the better way to Light a Cigarette? PS: I don’t smoke. Smoking is injurious to health. Ft – Porsche 718 Cayman in Racing Yellow Shade W/ flame kit.”

One user remarked, “Play stupid games win stupid prizes,” while another added, “When you don’t understand basic physics…”
Someone else shared, “It might be a better way to light and cigarette and your hand too.”
A viewer with a playful jab, quipped, “Cigrette jalane ka thoda casual tareeka hai (A slightly casual way to light a cigarette).”
The aftermath of the stunt also sparked curiosity with one commenter asking, “We wanna see aftermath of ur hand.”
Another user humorously pointed out, “That’s why women live longer.”
Meanwhile, a person suggested, “Pls put a disclaimer that such acts should not be replicated at home.”
In June, a video in which a woman was seen dangerously dangling from the top of an abandoned building while a boy held her hand surfaced online. The other person was seen filming the reckless act from different angles. Reportedly, the incident took place at an abandoned building near the Swaminarayan Mandir in Jambhulwadi, Pune.
