I have a friend who told me that smoking out of a metal piece was worse for ur lungs than out of a glass piece. Is this true because I love smoking out of my dugout.

I don't see how it would be any worse for your lungs.
It does make it taste like shit, though.
when you heat metal, any metal it releases chemical gases and though you may not taste it it is there, its not enough to say kill you in the long run but it is bad for you in terms of what else is available
I own and have smoked out of both... I'd recomend glass more so, as metal does have its downsides such as the chemicals or what not.
Its mostly wives tales, as inhaling smoke is worse for you than anything else that would enter your lungs form a metal pipe.
i dunno about any health risks involved in smoking metal specificly i will howrver say that glass pwns metal
Glass FTW
if you are worries about your health, vape, dont smoke. i dont worry about it.
glass tastes waaaaay better, but there really isnt much difference
Metal is more of a personal preference, I like glass just because I think there better.
glass pipes give fatter hits but they also break. if i didnt smoke so much weed id be able to keep a glass pipe (i usually drop em)
a metal will never break so thats why i got a metal
Actually, that's wrong.Quote:

see there's alot of myths going around cuz some snobby glass owners get put on the spot when they're asked why it's better.... after years of bullshitting, thousands of diffrent little myths can develope around one thing....
glass tastes better... but pipes, that are made out of metal, for smoking, aside from contaminants outside of the metal, is no dirtier then glass.
Go with glass. There's no health risks involved with smoking out of metal like fancy boots and slipknotpsycho said, but glass looks cooler, smokes better, and is a better conversation piece than a metal pipe in my opinion.
i work in a machine shop, have you ever seen metal smoking....??Quote:

The most common metal used for pipes is aluminum or brass. If you can find a brass pipe, made for smoking not some random fitting, thats the best choice.
Aluminum is okay, but id rather brass.
Now COPPER is a NO NO!@!.
UNder no circumstances should you use copper. You can die or go dain bread.

true, but alot of pipes are made out of anodized aluminum.... not sure what the anodization does exactly, but it's supposed to make it safe...Quote:
