ADVISORY: Outdoor furniture almost certainly uses treated wood. That is, toxic chemicals that act as fungicide, pesticide, and moisture-resister, which would be VERY BAD inhale the smoke of burning it… And if it’s pre-i-think-80s treated wood it’s even worse than what they use now. You should also not use treated wood in bonfires and such.
Pipes are cheap, and even an apple (not ideal) is still better than this.
Something tells me someone desperate enough for a high they will use a park bench as a meth pipe isn’t that concerned with his long term wellbeing.
I figured it’d be more weed than meth.
The hobbits loved pipe-weed, and they were experts in its cultivation and use. They had many different strains and blends, each with its own unique flavor and effect. They smoked it in bench holes, and they often added a pinch of herbs or spices to enhance the taste.
Some of pictures i see in Poland: dudes mixing tobacco, tea, and whatever they found in spice containers, smoked horribly dense smoke from that mixes using improvised shisha and then sitting and watching wall for hour; desperates using anything that could be rolled as cigarette paper; smoking fruit-flavoured chewing tobacco (that one was unexpectedly spectacular, 20 minutes later all 3 guys who did that turned into volcano models).
And this is just the tobacco, even before they started with stronger stuffs. Needless to say, Poland isn’t Shire.
Eeeeeew. How much hiv or herpes or whatever do you want to spread
The smoke cleanses it all
Covid may possibly be spreading via cigarette and marijuana smoke, so that’s neat.
Considering exhaled smoke is just breath with also burnt plant material and byproduct, that’s not too surprising. It’s more like ‘cigarette and marijuana smoke makes visible the cone of particulates of general exhalation through which contagious respiratory illness is largely spread.’
that is not how HIV/AIDS is spread.
You could potentially get herpes from it, but idk how long the virus lives on porous material like wood exposed to the elements. Covid for instance lasts 4 days on wood, but only 1 on cardboard. It lives much longer on, say, plastic, than on clothing.
I’d be much more worried about toxic chemicals because outdoor furniture almost certainly uses treated wood. And if it’s pre-i-think-80s treated wood it’s even worse.
Yes.
I sincerely doubt you could catch herpes or especially HIV from putting your mouth on this or smoking from it.
Pff, details
Doesn’t wood kill bacteria? I’m pretty sure that’s why you’re supposed to use a wood cutting board for meat
Edit: did anyone even Google it before down voting me? https://hardwoodreflections.com/is-wood-naturally-antibacterial/
Edit: in case you don’t trust the first link https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31113021/
Just in case you’re serious or if someone else didn’t know. Wood does not kill bacteria.
Wood is used in cutting boards because it was an available material that was shapeable, cleanable, and didn’t destroy the knife edge.
Didn’t even bother looking it up, huh?
You are wrong.

I also remember in my school smth about it.
But I am certain that a Bench with treated wood would not have the same characteristics from a cuttinf board. So maybe the idea could not be applied to a bench
I learned that wood boards are better than plastic, because plastic gets tiny grooves from cutting where bacteria can grow inside. With wood, those tiny grooves naturally close since wood “swells” when it gets wet.
The wood also absorbs the bacteria, bacteria can’t survive in wood Source
HIV, AIDS, Herpes =/= bacteria…
My comment literally says “wood kills bacteria”. The person worrying about getting AIDS form a bench is an idiot or joking, I was merely bringing up the fact that wood kills bacteria, which
a lot ofsome people apparently didn’t know.Edit: unless someone with herpes used it seconds before someone without it, it’s probably fine. I can’t conceive how someone would get AIDS by sharing a pipe, bench or otherwise.
Ceci est une pipe.
It’s about sending a massege
I’ve never been use
