The smoke is toxic and damages the lungs even in small amounts. Thus, throw something over it and run away. Anyway this is another good reason to not use wireless headphones. I'm still quite happy with my wired ones, thank you.
- ekianjo 5y agoToxicity does not work this way. Toxicity is a combination of how harmful whatever substance is, how deep the exposure was, and how long the exposure was. If you were exposed only for a short time to smoke and you don't have lasting lung symptoms right after the fact, it's very unlikely it has caused any systemic damages. And wireless headphones with very tiny batteries are unlikely to cause fire - larger headphones like the one described in the article carry a bit more risk.
