I once bought a very nice 50s Kenmore table fan, still in the box. That night I took it home, oiled it, and let it run all night in the bedroom. Sometime around 3am I awoke and smelled something 'hot'. The bearings had seized. Not much smoke, yet.

I've had a few smokin' GE's, mostly 70s models.

In some cases that vapor has been known not to cause disease but to cure one-specifically, it could cure an old tv habit! Hope that doesn't happen here!
