    It is very dangerous because some of the chemicals in the can burn and can be bad for your lungs. Im not sure excactly what it does, but I can tell you its a bad idea. I would never do it, even if I was desperate for something to smoke out of.

    I had a sick bowl that I dropped and shattered, so I had no bowl and no money to buy a bowl because it was all being spent on weed. So I made one out of a can and it worked. But I got sick of it and broke down and bought a sweet bowl. (My avatar)

    So yeah I'll probably die from chemical inhallation from a can. Yum.

    I quit doing that after I bought my first bong, Papa Smurf, sadly a room mate of where it was staying ruined it and then pissed on it. Needless to say I didn't touch it. The only thing I think you really need to worry about with it is the die on the can, for the simple fact that alot of the metal bowls are made out of aluminum. Though smoking out of anything other than glass will affect the favor of the smoke. I think metal pipes can be a bit harsh myself. Go buy a glass bowl for 15-20 bucks and quit worrieing(WOW, not right) about the health affects of smoking out of metal.

    yeah im sure that chiefing out of a pop can is not the best thing for you. if i was you i would go buy a pack of zig-zags and start rolling some joints. you can get like 32 leaves for a dollar and some pocket change.

    I've smoked out of a soda can only a couple times in the past, but before I did I always scraped off the paint around the area that I would poke the hole to smoke from, so that any chance of inhaling paint would be minimized as much as possible. I will never smoke out of a can again now that I'm aware of the dangers, that and it's really harsh to smoke from.

    Re: Dangers of smoking out of soda cans

    I think I'll start usin Blunts (or bloints), and i'll use my friends bowl. I don't like keepin pipes at my house cuz im livin with my folks over the summer (back from college) and they arent cool w/ me smoking pot (but they dont care if i get drunk, which is ironic). I work in a liquor store so i can snatch up all the free blunts I want!
    Thanks for the info guys, I'll avoid smoking out of soda cans.


    But lots of people smoke out of metallic bowls too, so would tin foil be ok, or at least not as bad for you as the soda can?

    my preferred tools are a bong or one hitter or good quality papers i used to use club double no glue but i don't see them often these days....


    by the way if you live in a city or near industrial shops you're probably already being exposed chronically to similar fumes in tinier amounts all the time ......

    Re: Dangers of smoking out of soda cans

    if the alzihimers is what you are worried about look at the ingrediants of your deoderant/antipersperant lots of aluminum, a few hits off a can won't hurt you as much as the stuff that makes you not smell and sweat. I'm sure both are bad for you but if you are over the age of 20 you have been rubbing aluminum into your pores for 10 years at least, think about your tap water and where it comes from (metal pipes) or the soda/beer you drink from that can, or the soup from a can. the list goes on and on... why worry so much, we are all going to die someday-GG

    Smoking out of aluminum is terrible for you. Way worse than paper.
