I used to love my proto-pipe. I still think it's the best designed pipe, not just in form, but in function as well. It is the only pipe I've ever seen that has the cleaning apparatus built in. #pipe

Anyone remember the Protopipe? It was the pipe with built in tools. It is the Charles de Gaulle of pipe smoking equipment.

I haven't smoked in about 10 years but that thing was THE pipe in high school. My buddy had one he stole from his dad and he was like the fucking keymaster with that thing. He was Link and it was the Triforce. Keep in mind this was before any of us knew what good weed was or that glass pipes let you taste "tha good shit mon" without tasting the thing you were smoking out of.
Don't smoke pot kids. I can remember every time my friends and I discovered a new method of smoking weed, but I can't remember my Grandma's birthday.
I don't remember graduating, and my first sexual experience, I don't remember that either, but man I will never, ever forget the first time I smoked that sweet, sweet cheeba.
Up with hope, down with dope.
That must have been the shit.
That must have been shitty.
Etc, etc and so on and so forth. See! I just did it right there-I don't even know why I commented in the first place. #pipe

I can't find the article I read, but it's amazing how much butane you inhale when using a bowl, or pipe if you have it. Butane... not so good for your lungs. Although, that is a sexy pipe. #pipe

The people who get cancer from smoking are the ones who are pack-a-day smoker types. There's a big difference between pack-a-day smoking and doing some hookah twice a month (if that) with friends, just like there's a big difference between a glass of red every week and binge drinking beer every night, in terms of what will lead to cirrhosis of the liver etc.
Butane though sure isn't what the Native Americans started smoking way back when... #pipe

As to abnormallysane's question .. what smoke are we talking about here? Tobacco or something more green? If you're talking about the green stuff .. well, no one has developed lung cancer from smoking it, and its reported that people who smoke cigs and marijuana have a much less likely chance of getting cancer (not PROVEN, but it's been noted.. it could be just the sample size that they interviewed, but, there's no way to do any official tests yet as it's a schedule 1 with no 'medical' benefits right?
Butane will usually dissipate before you can inhale a good portion of it... and it's usually being combusted into flame. I also haven't heard of really any 'terrible' side effects from consuming it.. unless you're straight up huffing it.
Now where'd I put my rolling papers... #pipe

I like joints. You probably like to smoke using something else.
And to you @SkirMernet, I use hemp papers, that are bleach free.

Cannabis is generally smoked unfiltered, or poorly filtered (ie, water pipes) so the amount of tar and large-particle smoke matter that ends up in your lungs is much greater compared to a filtered cigarette.
So it's not just nurture, but nature, when it comes to lung health. #pipe

There's a ridiculously large number of factors (that, by the way, lead to your "predisposition") that can contribute to lung cancer, none of them related to smoking. By your reasoning, anybody who is subjected to second-hand smoke while walking on a sidewalk or waiting for a public bus, even once, would be subject to an "increased" "risk" for lung cancer, but only if they are "predisposed" to it.
Are you for real? I'm not saying smoking doesn't cause cancer, I'm saying that extreme moderation doesn't cause cancer. And by the way you word your argument, you argue that filtered cigarettes do not cause cancer because it filters out additives like tar, which is like saying that 100% tobacco leaf hand-rolled cigarettes or cigars wouldn't cause cancer, even if you smoked 20 a day, or at least not create an "increased" "risk" (but you tell me if you only think it would happen to "predisposed" people). It's bullshit and you know it. #pipe
