hey, so when i were around 14 me and a friend found a lollipop plastic stick, we lighted it and used it like a cigarette, i inhaled like 4-5 times and one of the inhaled was down to the lungs, or the throat atleast. Do i have any bigger risk of lung cancer? This is giving me chills every single day and i can't focus
Uhhh no I've never heard of that.. love unless you are smoking real cigarettes back to back that's the only way you'll get it or unless its in your family. Don't worry yourself u are ok
Hey up..
Let's face it obviously not the best choice you've made, but I wouldnt give it a second thought. People from things such as house fires or any reason to get bad smoke inhalation can make them poorly right after the fact but would make a full recovery. What you explain sounds like u was just messing about but no way you could inhale pure plastic smoke in a high enough dose to cause any damage without ur body throwing it all back up with caughing or somthing. You are OK mate. Don't worry about it ur fine

Burning plastics produce smoke that is carsnegenice, however breathing in the smoke if not done reguar should not cause problems, however to be honest, it sounds like a silly thing to do
Do not do it again. If you are having breathing problems see your GP. I do not know when you took part in this activity

Don’t stress , we all do young and dumb things . When I was 15 myself and a friend sniffed something ( can’t even remember what ) to see what caroming was all about . At the time you don’t even think of the consequences but not like you continued, I also smoked a tea bag once rolled up in paper and inhaled match smoke on purpose . Was all experimental stuff when hanging with friends being silly , we all make mistakes and usually our bodies are strong and healthy enough during younger days to rid the bad stuff and rejuvenate .
Hey, i do have some breathing problems but that occured when i started thinking about it, so that's probably my anxiety. i took apart of this activity 2 years ago
hey, thanks for the answer! :D
I inhaled matchstick smoke aswell, i feel so doomed and dumb.
We all do silly things when we are young. I actually did the same thing as you - my friends and I also "smoked" pretzels, ha.... along with loads of other genuinely dumb things! You only did it once and I highly doubt it had any affect on you. People who smoke cigarettes for years are in danger of lung problems, not you. You are fine just relax a bit.. and also, lungs are able to heal and regenerate themselves. Hope this helps
When young we used to do the same with matchsticks
I am still here still at sixty seven, do not do it again
