    What are the health effects of smoking out of aluminum foil or an aluminum pipe?

    I ask because I've heard different things from different people and I smoke from one of those two things alot, probably about half the time I smoke.

    some people say it can lead to alzheimer's but there really isnt any definitive proof. Basically if the aluminum is burnt and you inhale the aluminum vapors thats bad. So dont smoke from an aluminum pipe with a butane lighter. If you can you should get a cheap pipe from a shop. Or if you cant get a pipe you could always smoke out of an apple or a potato instead if the aluminum thing bothers you.

    Are you really 18? Just go to a smoke shop and buy a glass pipe.

    Aluminum is poisonous and it can cause alzheimers. I smoked out of an aluminum can once, but I wouldn't do it again.

    ^ only if the aluminum burns and is inhaled, which will happen with a really hot flame like a butane lighter, but a normal bic lighter (unless you are torching the shit out of it) prolly wont cause any major harm.

    alzheimer's is a genetic diseas, aluminum can't cause it. it's a stoner myth.

    This is not a stoners myth my Young man.. Many metals release toxic fumes when vaoperized by intence heat as "skierdood" stated high heat. But aluinmum foil is easely burned and toxic vapors are inhaled. Theses metal toxins transfer into the lung and settle in the brain tissue, damaging Nuro pathways like drugs do, The metal fumes and toxic hazard related to it were experienced by those who weld metal and apply flames to metal as also in a steel mill. Lead and other metals are present in the dust in said mills the evidence is useless...
    But still noteworthy. alzheimer's is genitic but its also misunderstood... As are many mental illnesses in all stages of human development.

    I'm actually 17, I thought it would matter when I was registering. I think I'll buy something glass off a friend though. It probably doesn't matter though as I weld alot so burning metal vapors are pretty unavoidable.

    alzheimers is also linked to head trauma, my Poppi had it bad. its a terrible affliction and very upsetting for everyone.
