I learned there were asbestos tobacco pipes like a week ago. Humanity really didn’t see any of this coming.
Asbestos tobacco pipes are insanely rare and collectible these days, though. No one dares smoke them, more historical discussion pieces.

We never care of what’s coming, we invent/discover something and use it for freaking everything instead of studying long term impact. It happens all the fucking time.

I guess People will look at plastic in the future like we look at lead and asbestos now…

They’ve used pipes with lead in them for water ducts in Ancient Rome IIRC

Oh shit, that would make smoking really bad for your lungs. You could even get lung cancer
