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
