Plastic and tin give off toxic fumes every time the hot hot marijuana smoke is vaccumed into the chamber by someone hoping to get high. Sure, tehy'll get high, and they'll also get a lung full of extra toxins that only help them on their way to needing an oxygen tank. Dont use plastic or tin or aluminum as any of your parts, they will only hurt you. I'd rather smoke out of an apple than a bong made with harmful parts, your an idiot if you want to fuck up your lungs even more than you already are taking in carbon, tar, and other thigns formed just from burning the pot. Go to the store, buy a glass drill bit and a drink with a glass bottle, then with the money you save from not needing to buy a home respirator and a portable oxygen tank because you were stupid enough to inhale EVEN MORE toxic fumes on top of your pot. Happy smoking guys, and believe me I love smoking as much as any of you (maybe more), but your already hurting your lungs enough. Smoking ANYTHING is bad for your lungs, smoking pot every once in a while out of a nice glass piece isnt healthy for you and still does significant damage to your lungs. Knowing how harmful smoke already is to you, why would anyone possibly want to make it even worse? If you want to scorch your lungs, well, thats your decision. I smoke alot and my lungs arent exactly peachy; but I smoke safely and I know thats the reason I can still breathe. Dont use toxic parts to make your bong just because its easier, any plastic that smoke touches inside your bong is going to release toxic fumes every time you smoke. Any aluminum foil or tin foil your lighter flame waves by when your having a good time toking up is another blast of harmful lung-killing crap that makes you dumb by killing brain cells. Ill say it one more time, its your body. Do whatever the hell you want with it. I'm just saying that the marijuana smoke we all love is harmful enough to our lungs; if your retarded enough to make a bong out of the wrong parts becuase youre too dam lazy to do it right then you dont deserve to have a bong in the first place.
I think I've pushed my point across, flame me if you want to but I'm just trying to tell you whats right.

No, I'm not going to flame you, that would just be immature and not get this conversation anywhere.

Thanks for the help, though. I really appreciate it, and I will look into what you said. Thanks.
