Okay, so...sorry about acting like an ass. I feel retarded, but I was more screwed up last night than I had ever been in the 8 months I've been smoking.

Anyway, I have a question which I asked last night but none of you could discern what I was trying to say. The thing I ended up using to smoke out of, and will probably use tonight if it's SAFE, is this thing that goes to a wrench set, I think. I'm not into tools or anything so I'm not sure.
It is this metal pipe thing that latches onto this large tool and you put it on something it fits onto (like a bolt or something I think) and you turn it and it makes the bolt or whatever loose.

Well, it's the pipe that goes onto the tool. It has a hole that is small enough to where I can put weed in there and suck and the weed won't come out through the hole into my mouth. The only problem is last night I smoked from it and my entire mouth tasted like tire.
I tried cleaning it prior to use with anti-bacterial dish soap and scolding hot water but it still tasted like that, so I guess I didn't do a good job. My question is, is that REALLY harmful to my body?
As I said I don't have ANYTHING else to smoke out of until, probably, tomorrow or Monday at the latest and this thing is the ONLY thing I have to smoke out of. I know having increased exposure to anything harmful to the body, well...harms it. A lot. But what I was wondering is, is if I smoke out of it again tonight and maybe tomorrow and after tomorrow NEVER AGAIN, will my lungs be seriously damaged?

Edit: I'm also boiling the piece right now, and will probably do so until the water evaporates to see if I can totally clean it out and leave only the metal. ^_^
