Ah the famous picture of a guy who's lower jaw just fell off after he kept drinking this.
Similarly well known 'radium girls'.
Horrific cases.

They all seem sealed with a black varnish, and I have personally never held one or been able to look at the bowl or stem to see if they're coated as well.

Naturally, both the stem and the bowl would lightly cake with carbon over time, 5-6 bowls before it's on everything evenly.

Find one and be the hypothesis lol.

I'll stick to briar

The dust is actually fine needles that cause chronic inflammation in lungs, which triggers cancer. But this can happen with any fibres. Lately everyone is using carbon fiber and it's as bad as asbestos.

Fun Fact!

Pipe Tobacco is almost never inhaled by pipe smokers if they never smoked cigarettes beforehand, and pipe enthusiasts are more anal about natural tobacco and unnatural additives.

This is one of the difficult parts of reading up on lung cancers between both groups. I couldn't find any studies pointing directly at "pipe and only pipe smoking", as the population pools for testing people dwindled rather quickly by the late 1980's since pipe smoking was mostly gone outside of hobbyists.

I'd pair this up with vaping/snus in the harm-reduction camp if that's true. I wouldn't consider any type of smoke entering your body as entirely harm-free... or vapor, or nicotine for that matter.

Wait til you learn about what they used to put in cigarette filters

We still do.

It's breath taking

Asbestos. is there anything it can't do?™

how do you even begin deep-frying kool-aid

You'll have to freeze it first

Even oxygen is destroying all life on the planet.

Glares in microplastics in my balls

they’re mostly not even that harmful unless you make a gigaton of it and just kind of dump it absolutely everywhere

First there was just cheese. Then we refined that cheese into plastics. Because cheese is just a mere handful of polymers away from plastic. And you wonder why you get constipated when you eat too much cheese....

Then we got better and developed celluloid to make exploding billiard balls and false teeth from. It also got used to make pocket knife handles because you could make the most beautiful tortoise shell handles and Mother of Pearl, (the tortoises and oysters were very happy about that). And colored handles were bright and vibrant and stayed that way. But the off gassing would often rust the blades to dust in short order.

Today, we have a thousand different plastic formulations for a thousand different uses. And it's everywhere from soda bottles and cell phones, to cars, airplanes, artificial hips, and rocket ships. And even your balls.

It's a brave new plastic world.

⚠️Stay away from dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO).⚠️ This dangerous chemical shows an 100% fatality rate for those who have consumed it, and can cause instant death when inhaled.

Well that and there's always the manufacturing issue wherein you could make something that does everything you want but it's a bitch to manufacture, maintain, or install. A good example is lead pipes were a known issue but the hope was that calcium buildup would help solve the problem before it became a problem, galvanized steel technically existed at the time but manufacturing it in the quantities needed was a bitch and Iron pipes would just burst constantly so that was dead in the water.

Don't we already know they are toxic ?

It's pretty well known they're unhealthy, although sometimes this gets ignored. As a non-smoker it bugs me that these sometimes get a pass to be used indoors.

I feel like we collectively forgot about "vape lung"

The regular ad.
