Hong Kong Man Turns Into ‘Space Man’ After Puffing Zombie Vape Non-Stop — Jialat Scenes Shock Commuters
A bizarre and alarming incident unfolded on the Hong Kong MTR recently, when a man believed to be under the influence of a potent vape was spotted staggering and behaving unusually, earning him the nickname “Space Man” online. The event, which quickly went viral across social media platforms, highlights a worrying trend of dangerous vape products—often referred to as “Zombie Vapes”—circulating among youths and low-income users in Asia.
Caught on Camera
Eyewitnesses reported that the man was continuously puffing on a vape device while commuting, showing no signs of stopping. What began as a seemingly casual vaping session soon escalated into something much more disturbing. According to commuters, the man started showing signs of disorientation, eventually losing his ability to walk. Many kept their distance, clearly frightened and confused by his erratic behaviour.
“He was swaying like he was in outer space,” one passenger commented on a local Facebook group. “He looked like he couldn’t even feel his legs anymore, just floating around like some kind of zombie.”
MTR Staff Forced to Step In
The incident reached a point where staff from Hong Kong’s MTR had to intervene. The man, who was barely able to stand, was gently escorted away for medical assistance. Footage shared online shows uniformed personnel guiding the dazed commuter off the train platform, as others stared on in concern.
These so-called “Zombie Vapes” have been linked to dangerous synthetic compounds that can cause extreme sedation, hallucinations, and even organ damage. Some are sold cheaply through unregulated street vendors or online platforms, especially targeting young users looking for a quick high.
Global Health Warnings About Illicit Vape Products
This jialat situation isn’t unique to Hong Kong. Across Asia and beyond, authorities are sounding the alarm over the increasing misuse of illicit vape products. In Singapore, tough vape laws are already in place, but overseas, where enforcement can be laxer, many of these questionable products slip through the cracks.
Experts warn that zombie-like reactions to these vapes are not just embarrassing public incidents—they are life-threatening. “These aren’t your usual nicotine vapes. Some contain lab-made drugs that severely affect brain function,” said one toxicology expert based in Southeast Asia.
Public Reactions: Fear, Laughter, and Disgust
Online reactions to the “Space Man” video were mixed. While some netizens made light of the situation with memes and comments like “Bro went to Jupiter and forgot to come back”, others were more concerned. “What if he collapsed on the train tracks? This is not funny anymore,” one commenter wrote.
With more incidents like these being captured on camera and shared globally, the pressure is mounting on health agencies and law enforcement to crack down on the production and distribution of these illicit products.
Until then, this incident serves as a surreal yet serious warning: not all vapes are harmless—and one puff could send you straight into orbit.
