Jenna Ortega sends her fans into a meltdown after she's spotted smoking
Fans have lost their minds over the footage
Fans have been sent into a meltdown after footage of Jenna Ortega smoking made its rounds on social media.
The short clip in question, uploaded to Twitter on Wednesday (24 May) has since gone viral after clocking up a staggering near 30 million views since it was posted just a couple of days ago to the platform.
And, let's just say, people are absolutely losing their minds over the whole ordeal. Have a look:

The clip shows Ortega chatting with a friend outside as she smokes what appears to be a cigarette.
It was captioned: "WTF JENNA SMOKES? NOOO," and has racked up a whopping 29.9 million views at the time of writing.
With thousands upon thousands of comments and retweets - it's clear the internet couldn't wait to share their reactions to the Wednesday star's newly-discovered habit.
Heads up - they're pretty intense.
Some people seemed to be left totally outraged at the actor's lifestyle choice with one Twitter user posting: "Legit don't understand why anybody chooses to actively smoke cigarettes after the general social shift away from them, like 20+ years ago."
A second, clearly outraged, fan added: "NOOOOOO. F*CKKKK NOOOOOO. GOD WHY? WHY GOD? HAVNT WE SUFFERED ENOUGH? NOOOOOOOOO."
Yikes.
A third chimed in: "WHAT IS MY QUEEN DOING!? I THOUGHT SHE WAS PERFECT..."
"Out of everything she chooses a cigarette," judged a fourth.
Others, clearly, weren't so fussed as the pocket of the internet who are currently breaking down over the idea of the former Disney channel actor having a smoke.
One Twitter user penned: "People when adults do normal legal things," with a sarcastic shocked emoji.
A second claimed the 'proper response' to finding out the news should have actually been: "Oh. She smokes. Okay."
"Who cares if she smokes? Just cause she’s a celebrity doesn’t mean anything," added a third.
Responding to the backlash, a final Twitter user commented: "Very weird energy to bring. She's an adult and can make her own decisions."
What do you make of it?
The news comes after the announcement that Ortega is now in talks to star in Beetlejuice 2.
The original Beetlejuice, released way back in 1998, was directed by the now veteran film director Tim Burton - the same person behind Netflix's iconic Wednesday series.
According to multiple sources close to The Hollywood Reporter, not only is Beetlejuice 2 in the works, but it is also set to cast Ortega in the leading role.
The outlet also said that Burton will be directing the sequel, with Keaton and Winona Ryder also set to be involved.
The team were reported to be wanting to start production in late May/early June, though a budget for the film has apparently not yet been finalised.
Guess we'll have to just wait and see...
