not exactly shure but heat+plastic=offgassing i usaly only smoke out of glass but its your risk and if you are to young to buy a peice find some emo kid in the mall and ask him to buy you one. (make shure he is over 18 first lol)

the plastic itself doesnt hurt u as far as i know

but the foil can (once again just from what i heard)

but i also read sumwhere that the foil doesnt ever get hot enough from just a standard lighter to do any damage

soooooo

im clueless

ok, this is a hard one to answer. Ive made some home made bongs in my time, that were quite safe in every category, but theyre usually rather pricey, and only practical if you wanna make a BIG bong on a budget.

Plastic water bottles offgass at body tempurature, meaning that as soon as you grab it its offgassing.

I suggest you jsut get 20$ and buy a plastic bong if you really need one. These are usually made of acylic, and designed so that it doesnt come into direct contact with hot metal. Ive heard alot of people saying that pre fab acrylic bogns are bad for you, but honestly, acrylic is really safe shit, they let you play with acrylic paint in kindergarted, you can eat the stuff.

BUT

id suggest just buying a glass pipe, save about 30 or 40, and buy a good one that you like. Plastic bongs are onyl cool for the first couple weeks, a unique arty pipe, will last you a lifetime of delicious hits, and as stupid as it sounds, youll have a bond with it. Not to mention, me along with 90% of experienced stoners, would rather hit a sick ass little glass dry piece, more than a plastic bong any day.(hey peer pressure worked getting you into the stuff, maybe itll work guiding you along...)

good day all im off to smoke some CHRONIC!
