Quote:What really is harmful about smoking a little plastic? I don't think plastic is going to come off unless your using sharp things like metals or glass but plant matter?
I agree with the second part.
What is harmful about breathing plastic fumes?
The effects of fumes from the thermal degradation of polyethylene on health.Thermal degradation events as health hazards: particle vs gas phase effects, mechanistic studies with particles.Inhaled cellulosic and plastic fibers found in human lung tissue.The first link demonstrates the immediate effects of chronic exposure, admittedly not what we are talking about. The second purports that the fibers can remain intact when the fumes are a gas, and the third links those very fibers to lung cancer.
But that probably won't happen in these small amounts and with the action you are discussing.
Still not something I want anywhere in my mentals when I am delving deep into my mental.
