The mechanics of smoking a pipe involve scraping accumulated ash from the bowl and scowering the stem. There is zero chance this thing isn’t insanely dangerous to smoke.
It’s a case of " A little knowledge is a dangerous thing " combined with " The difference between theory and practice, is that in theory there is no difference between theory and practice "
If you only know “asbestos is bad!” this is obvs dangerous
If you know “inhaling asbestos fibers is bad” this is maybe NBD
If you’ve ever smoked a pipe often enough to clean it, this is obvs dangerous
(and besides smoking is pre-industrial barbaric; vaping is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age)
I stole it too, enough decades ago that I forget who I heard it from. I think it may have been an old grizzled Chem Engineering professor my first semester of college

I’m stealing that theory and practice quote. That’s great.
